Dying to Live
This book takes place in the 1930s during the great depression. It’s the story of a daughter’s desperate search for her lost father who was an archeologist that never returned from his last expedition. We get an overview of her daily life and a glimpse of what her life used to be.
Determined to find her father, she sets out on a journey with family and friends that follows the path of her father into the heart of India. Once they arrive they discover a world of discovery and danger, with some surprises along the way.
This book starts out slowly, making it difficult to keep pressing on with the story. The setting of her daily life and the desperate circumstances take a fourth of the book. Once they arrive in India the pace picks up and captured my attention for the rest of the story.
There were numerous grammar, tense, and spelling issues that made the story less enjoyable and harder to read. Once the story kicks into high gear, they either diminish or are less noticeable because of the tension of the story.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read with a slow start and some issues that made focusing on the story difficult.
Fans of adventure stories like Indiana Jones will enjoy this book.
