This book is deep, and draws you in quickly. I literally could not put it down. From racism to murder, compassion for your enemies to heartbreak, this book covered ever possible facet of human emotion. I give it 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in a quick, unexpectedly great read.

The Returned was an Excellent read. In the beginning it seemed like the Oregon Trail with a twist. The book has you wanting to read more with every turn of the page. You are wondering what will happen next. Wondering what twist is next. I like adventure books and this book just blew the cap
