LAST STOP
Author : Jessica Cage
No of Pages: 169
Rating: 4/5
The fact I couldn’t do away saying- that I have become a Jessica
fan. Reading Last Stop was an amazing experience, one that you cannot confront
every day. It was not reading it was experiencing..- so chilling and
compelling. I hadn’t read much in the genre, except some (which were
exceptional like Joe Bonadonna’s MAD SHADOWS) but this has made me an addict.
I’m thirst for more.
In LAST STOP Jessica Cage describes the challenging life that a
human being, among us, will have to lead when he/she could savor a little more with her senses- something
that the “common folks” cannot see, hear or feel. In LAST STOP the protagonist
Josephine is blessed with the ability to see things that normal people cannot see.
That a slight extension to one of her sense organs entirely changes her life.
But she bravely manages to accept the fact and cope with the turmoil of change.
Instead of letting it shatter her life to smithereens, she channels the same to
her advantage. Josephine is characterized as an extremely bold and willful
woman. The reader could imagine himself in the protagonist’s position and infer
how difficult it would be. This strong characterization is what that attracted
me the most – something that the women of our era lack. Something which is
essential for survival; the courage to accept the inevitable and go on.
Another thing that a prudent reader cannot acknowledge as an
advantage is that the book is short, but heavy- like a spicy Ayurvedic medicine further boiled to
corpulence. Short, brief but perfect! Prudently penned that at no part of the
reader would find a scarcity in detail. Jessica is surely a gifted writer.
Blessed be her pen.
