7. DEVIL'S PASS, Personal Opinion

PERSONAL OPINION

I thought that Devil's Pass was a rather nice book.

All the elements of the book were pretty nicely done and balanced out, blending together into quite nice of a story. Elements of the book I really liked are the voice and theme. The voice was clearly showed how Webb looked at things and gave him a very distinctive personality. Theme was great too, it often showed up in the story and was involved in the Webb's mission and Webb's own life.

However, the authors could have improved on the characters, setting, and plot of the book. Other than Webb, all the characters were thinly outlined, and they all just faded away from Webb's life without a trace, even if they seemed important to him. The setting had some times where there was nice detail, but other than those parts, not too much detail was put. more description would help for a more complete visualization. The plot of the book was nice, with the storyline and flashbacks nicely mixing together. However, there was no depth to it, nothing to question or think about and very straightforward. More complexity and "food for thought" would have been much better.

All in all, Devil's Pass was quite a nice book. I would recommend it to people who would kill to read an adventure. However, I wouldn't put this on a must-read book list; there are many better books on the market. Still, A nice book.
