Faces in the Fire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unless you've read a lot of books that start with chapter 34, end with chapter 14, and bury chapter one nearly 300 pages in, you'd have to agree that T.L. Hines' "Faces in the Fire" is an unusual novel.But the appeal of this wacky yet profoundly entertaining tale extends far beyond the non-linearity - this is a rollicking and mysterious little gem of fiction that will keep you guessing while keeping your sense of rhythm deliciously off kilter.

The stories of four dissimilar people cross paths - a long haul truck driver and sculptor with no memories beyond the past six months, a notorious spammer with terminal cancer, a tattoo artist/heroine addict, and a hit man with the world's most bizarre weapon - guided by unexplained visions of catfish and seemingly random numbers scribbled on a napkin.Confusing?You bet, but Hines is a master storyteller, and cleverly guides the unsuspecting reader through his series of devious traps before delivering a knockout climax that is beyond clever.

Like the brilliant film "Memento", "Faces in the Fire" is a twisted tale of noir that demands a second look - or read, in this case.A great choice for those last lazy days of summer beach reading.
