This is more of a 3.5 star rating.
Let's see, this book was good. But, it could have been GREAT. Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely say that K.C. Hilton is a talented writer!
I was eager to read 90 Miles to Freedom because of the mostly positive reviews and then quickly downloaded it onto my kindle app. The plot summary sounded captivating, so I went into the book expecting it to be superb.
It started out pretty well, I like the approach that Hilton took on the narrative (it reminds me a lot of Jodi Picoult's style). The first thing I noticed though were the choppy sounding sentences. I feel as if the writing and choice of words could have been more erudite. In addition, the main characters seemed one-dimensional. Consequently, I did not become attached to them, as I usually do when I read (both a curse and a gift!). Still, I did my best to ignore this and kept reading. Then, all of the sudden, the novel took a complete twist. It wasn't a "whoa, I wasn't expecting that" twist, but more like a "huh?" kind. I was a bit confused because the plot jump seemed so random.
Still, 90 Miles to Freedom was a good, quick read (it took me about 3.5 hours to finish). Although the ending was a bit predictable, I was satisfied with the way it played out.
