The novel tells its story in rotating third person point of view that helps develop the story from multiple perspectives that serves to heighten the thrilling suspense. There is a subtle supernatural element that is integral to the plot that is done well, too. Its mystery is twisty and just when you think everything's been figured out, a wrench gets thrown into the works. It is well written, well plotted, and always suspenseful-nail-bitingly so in some parts. Considering its subject matter, it's not particularly serious or dark, but I wouldn't call it funny. Witty I agree with but I'm not sure I would use humorous or funny to describe this novel.

Dead Connection is the debut Young Adult fiction novel from Charlie Price. ![]() ![]() It is quite obvious that had Washington chosen to serve as an enlightened King (of which many understood there was no such thing), he could have with widespread support. ![]() He truly was a man of disciplined self-control who understood throughout his life that his place in history would be solely judged by how he responded to guiding the post-British new nation. It's impossible to not be in awe of Washington, who, unlike many great men throughout history, failed to control ambition and its interaction with the achievement of great power. ![]() While no where near the depth of Chernow's tome, Ellis covers all the main themes of Washington's life from youth, to bumbling but ambitious officer in the French and Indians wars, to much-maligned, beleaguered Revolutionary war hero, to his service as President - and truly father of his new nation - for the first two terms of the new federal government (whose survival was by no means guaranteed). Initially I preferred Chernow's book, but as I started to compare the two for interpretation, Ellis's gorgeous narrative writing quickly won me over. ![]() Presidents, I began with this and Ron Chernow's behemoth "Washington: A Life," a far more comprehensive treatment.
