Query: Unexpected Greatness

I was sent this book as a present, knowing nothing about it or the author. It probably was a book I would have never picked up on my own. But, as I started reading, I was pleasantly surprised. Jackson has a very unique way of writing that is both captivating and engaging. Her creation of the majority of characters is solid, providing enough information to create a skeleton while still allowing room for creativity of the reader. Characters are believable, and the action is well paced. Despite having a wide cast of characters, each becomes a separate entity that the reader can understand and connect with. Rarely am I so wowed by an author that I seek out their other books - but I just ordered Gods in Alabama to follow up this wonderful treat.
