Book Review: The Reserve by Russell Banks

This book, unlike others, ties in more than just one knot. A story that begins as a playful romance is suddenly thrown into a murder mystery. I think it is really enjoyable how Vanessa Cole, who is very troubled and emotionally unstable, took the reader through the book. I thought is was amazing how they incorporated love and murder into one story and how smoothly it was carried out. Over all the book was very interesting because in a way it was realistic and many people are able to relate to this. - Nivenka (Sunset Teen)
