So, I am really quite terrible about this whole "reviewing" thing... I love reviewing books, movies, games, etc. but keep forgetting. So the reviews you readers get are going to be rather short, random ones...Awaking, by Claudia Cangilla McAdam, (edited by one of my favorite authors, Regina Doman) is a story about a girl who finds herself transported back to Jesus' time... She is now a Jewish girl-- could she really have ever been an American teen in the twenty first century? But Ronni/Seraphina knows what will happen to Jesus. And she believes she is meant to stop the crucifixion.
Most Bible-time-travels stories are rather... well, boring. But Awakening isn't. Ronni's story is intricately entwined with Biblical figures. I learned alot about the Jewish culture and little facts about the Gospels that I hadn't known before. Best, the story is genuinely exciting. I always love a book that leaves me asking for more.
A quick and easy read that is entertaining and enjoyable. What could be better? :)
