Kealan Patrick Burke's The Turtle Boy

Kealan Patrick Burke's The Turtle Boy

Plot: Timmy Quinn is a normal boy who is enjoying a normal summer. He and his best friend Pete spend their days digging holes, exploring the local pond and spooking each other with tales of youthful tragedy. The basic ritual that most of us took for granted in our youth. Well, things change a bit when Pete and Timmy stumble upon a strange boy hanging around Myers Pond.

My Review and Thoughts:

An amazing written story, very vivid in description of the surroundings and atmosphere and both young characters Timmy and Pete. This is part of the Timmy Quinn book series, this being part one. It plays out like childhood as both go about there adventures to stumble upon a new kid down by the pond that would change everything. 

This is a wonderful written story of life mixed with mystery and the under currents of horror. 

Wonderful word play, the words are like definitions as you read the images flood the readers mind because each sentence words leaves nothing to doubt in guessing what’s happening and gives you all the images, objects, descriptions of looks full force in the wonderful word play that works so well with this story. 

You become the story or at least another child or a friend of Timmy's, the writing places you there right next to him exploring. Flawless written characters. The book is wonderful, creepy and Goosebumps inducing at times, the mystery is thick and the readers ponder just what is happening at the pond. 

I can't really say enough about this book because it really works in so many ways. I enjoyed the whole concept. The plot, the actions, the back-story, the ending and the mystery around it. The story is really creepy in a reality based sense of certain persons actions leading to horrible truths.

The story captures the dread or not knowing. The spark of imagination runs on each page building a story the reader does not want to end. As the mystery slowly unfolds and the dark truth and the nature of the horror unfolds in wicked imaginations that come off the page to the reader. 

An interesting story that plays out perfect and twists into a shocking showdown and ultimate climax. Ghosts, murder, secrets, the sixth sense all run together in this surprising amazing read of paranormal horror.

I feel this is a must read, must own little gem of spooky moments playing out in wonderful imaginative ways. 

The book is a quick read and a perfect flawless little book that sparks the readers interest from page one and until the end, but that's the beauty of this tale, it doesn't end because more stories await young Timmy in The Timmy Quinn Book series which can also be bought and read. But if you only read this one, it's fine because it works as a stand alone and ends with classic style twist. Loved it.
