Elsewhere is a fantastic first novel with descriptive images which put you in the scene. Perhaps a bit repetitive in the first half the second half is full of suspense.
The narrative was bland and the writing just subpar. The story had great potential as the beginning was intriguing, but everything afterwards was just blah.
