3.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't make up my mind!, Oct 8 2002

By

Jess (BC, canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Burning Ground (Paperback)

I picked the book out because I read the woman was working in a fire tower, and Ranger Gord happens to be my fav. Red Green SHow charactor so I figured I'd see what it was about (And there WAS a Ranger gord in this story, how ironic:)
I'm 16 years old so I'm not quite used to reading literature so erotic and bold when it comes to sexual content. It scared me a little at first, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue the book or not, but I did and I'm glad I did! I thought that perhaps, like the one girl in seattle said, maybe I'm just a bit too immature to be reading something like this. but I thought what the heck, and put myself past it. It's not like I'm not used to swearing and talking about sex, heck, I go to hight school, lol.

The book had a powerful menaing to it, all about finding you true inner self and what's important to yourself. It's about learning to tell apart the truth from the lies you tell yourself. Good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where there's smoke, April 1 2002

This review is from: Burning Ground (Paperback)

Working in a fire tower deep in the Canadian forest, Percy Turner uses the isolation as a wall against people, and uses the time for reflection on her past and future. She has a strained relationship with her parents, burdened by family secrets, and her childhood friend & longtime lover Marlea can't seem to choose whether to be with Percy or with her current boyfriend (not that Percy has had a stellar record keeping faithful to Marlea either). Through an internet exchange with a fellow fire tower worker, Percy slowly begins piecing her life back together. Pearl Luke's compelling story is sprinkled with fascinating facts about fires that make this tale so unique. She eloquently shows us that desire and attraction aren't always as clear cut as we like to think.

2.0 out of 5 stars not child appropriate, Feb 21 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Burning Ground (Paperback)

yes this book had many ways of stating life, but it was a disturbing teenage child/teen hood. I thought it could of been more appropriate and should of been rated higher than teen status.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
I'd bought this book during a recent visit to Canada, while searching for Canadian writers. It seems to me like I found a very promising one! Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Passions just below ground level, from a bird's eye view!
I adored this book, which I grabbed, I admit, from cover and brief write-up alone.

The notion of fire, and burning, tied up with the omnipresent Canadian Wilderness and... Read more
