Book Review:
The Night of the Moon Serpent was an interesting
and enjoyable read. I loved the amount of suspense in the book because it kept
you hooked until the end. David was my favorite character because he was always
determined to seek the truth about his visions and find out how his friend
Miguel figured into the mystery as well.
I like how the author included a lot of information
about the culture of the town. I do recommend staying focused on book the entire
time since it is very fast paced. Overall this book was well written.
