![]() ![]() The shock of the life comes, when Vega one day finds Quentin gone and has everybody suspecting her as his accomplice in crime. Stacks is the place where Vega goes to work, and there works a close friend and mentor of Vega called Quentin Herms. ![]() Wormwood is surrounded on all sides by a ring called Quag (a place littered with deadly and ferocious beasts) where no Wug is ever believed to have set foot and come back alive. Wormwood is inhabited by creatures called Wugs (humans) and it is ruled by members of an elite club called The Council. Though their parents are still alive, yet the two have to fend for themselves as their parents are in a state of permanent inactivity (much like coma in our world). The Finisher by David Baldacci is about Vega Jane, a fifteen something girl who lives in a place called Wormwood, along with her brother John. Storytelling is no easy job and it especially requires a lot of skill and effort when you have the herculean task of making the audience believe in magical creatures and other such irrational concepts of the fantasy world. Unfortunately for me, that was not the case to be, for the very first book I read has put me off him completely. ![]() I have never read a David Baldacci book before, but from what I could gather from so many of my fellow book lovers is that he is indeed a master craftsman of words. ![]()
