Review
"When Rodriguez is in the mood, The Space Between is drop-dead gorgeous and I found myself reading some passages over and over because of their effortless poetry. At other points, I felt trapped with the narrator, inside a kind of solipsistic seizure, a lonely paranoia that threatened to implode it all...an interesting debut from a writer we will surely see great things from." --The Chronicle-Journal

Product Description
Two wrongs may not make a right, but what about three? JP Rodriguez's debut novel is an examination of what it means to live a modern life and the price of inaction in a world where chances at redemption and happiness are all too few. Watched over by the majestic mountains of the Canadian west, the narrator came early to understand that every action creates a reaction, and what goes up comes down—usually hard. So he's spent his life in an emotional straitjacket, living comfortably on the surface of things. Only once has he ever come close to betraying his philosophy, but he came to his senses before it was too late and left her. At least that’s what he thinks until the morning he wakens to a violent and inexplicable nausea. Haunted by the love he threw away and his former lover's mysterious murder, he leaves his job and sets off in search of direction. On an epic journey over land and sea, through past and present, his heart and mind struggle to find common ground. Mile by mile, he develops the justification for an act of deliberate violence and maybe his own redemption.

A read many will relate to, Jan 16 2010
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Space Between (Perfect Paperback)
Wanderlust drives people to strange things. "The Space Between" tells the story of a man beaten down by life and the loss of his former lover to a violent death. In a search for meaning, he travels high and low throughout the world; his tale is one of uncertainty and regret, finally learning his own purpose and meaning in life as his travels continue. A psychological story of redeeming oneself, "The Space Between" is a read many will relate to.
