Range Error: Behind the Curtain by JM Britten: Book Review

 3.5/5

This book was sent to me for review, which has not impacted the review in any way. The opinions stated are mine and mine alone.

Range Error starts off with a good opening that grabs the reader's attention and sets the stage for the rest of the book. JM Britten has a great grasp on descriptive writing and knows how to create images in the reader's mind. Range Error was well written, however there are many grammatical and structural errors in sentences. The author has a good ability to use scientific and mathematical jargon that makes what she is writing plausible. That being said, it did become heavy in some parts and did struggle to hold my attention. Including some parts that felt unnecessary, or slowed the book down. At times it also felt a bit disjointed, jumping back and forth from reality to what is being viewed in a dream-like state. 

Britten did an amazing job at creating characters. They seemed well thought out and were crafted in such a way that you felt like you knew them. She also had a really good climatic moment, but then the book continued on for a while afterwards. Wrapping the book up better would leave a stronger lasting impression on the reader.

Overall, for a debut novel, she did a great job. I look forward to seeing what she writes next.
