I just finished reading As Far As Blood Goes on my Kindle ... on my HP Mini, actually, which is a new toy and syncs to my kindle books. I thought the story was great, and the characters well drawn. One thing critical to me in any book is that the characters must seem real to me, and some very popular current authors fall short in that regard, IMHO. In this story, although not all the characters were likeable, they all seemed like real flesh-and-blood people, making me believe that they and their story could well have been non-fiction. I would have hoped for more authentication, perhaps newspaper citings from the trial, either this one if it was real or similar ones from the era, because there was no doubt in my mind that the situation would have occurred with some regularity, with real people, if not actually Michael Mabaya. I would like for the story to have lasted just a little bit longer ... was sorry to see it end.
