An odd, but not unenjoyable book, with an original storyline. It could have benefited from attention to dialogue - everything is too proper and formal for 'real' speech, but it's okay. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but that said, I wouldn't slate it either, if asked an opinion.Overall rather 'blah', but a pleasant way to pass an few hours if there's nothing else presenting itself.2.5 / 5 The story follows a young boy by the name of Caleo who gets pulled into a world of supernatural corruption. The book starts on a strong note and it continues as the story develops. At some moments, the reader may feel a bit lost, but it quickly can be recovered as the reader reads on. Caleo is strong character who teaches that even if you are different, you can still be important to society. The story shows the hardship of love, fear and lonliness. But with the help of family and friends, the hardship can be minimized. And with trusting the right people, you can achieve almost anything.Caleo is a fast-paced story that will leave the reader wanting for more. It starts off brilliantly with a background information in the prologue and ends unexpectedly with a twist and cliffhanger. Although there are a few spelling mistakes, reader will quickly discard it as they continue reading while being entrapped with the story. A great aspect of the story is that the reader would not realize right away that it is about a young, homosexual boy, but about a boy who struggles to fit in his community of peers.I give the book 3.5 out of 5 stars for creativity and originality. The book has a great storyline with strong characters that will make the reader bond with each of them. The reader will feel love for some character, sympathy and hatred for other as well. It will make you feel as if you are apart of that world.I praise James Crawford for writing this beautiful story and I cannot wait to start reading the sequel Jack, which follows the adventures of Caleo's best friend who is searching to rescue his love, Caleo
