“The Enchanted” by Rene Denfeld
Published by Harper
Finished 9/7/16 – 5/5 stars
Wow! I fell in love
with this book on the first page due to the writing. The subject matter can be difficult at times
so it’s not a book for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The story is told by an inmate living in the dungeon like
cells of death row. He’s been in the
system since he was a young boy and copes with his history and new life without
windows or true human interaction by becoming a mute and using his imagination
to create a different world within the prison walls. His imagination is not full of fairy tales
though, rather it is insightful with a little twist of abnormal. It’s hard to explain but trust me, it’s well
done by the author.
If I could change one thing about this book it would be its
length. It’s a fairly short book so
plenty of room to have expanded on the main character’s back story. But as is, it is a great little book.
