*One Word – Truth*
THE SPEED OF FALLING OBJECTS by NANCY RICHARDSON FISCHER is an entertaining, action-packed, suspenseful, thrilling, and edge-of-your-seat YA survivalist story that immediately hooked and captivated me. The backdrop of the Amazon rainforest and the premise of this novel totally intrigued and enthralled me, I was totally taken with this adventurous tale and loved Danny’s story. The action was so fierce that I literally could not put this book down.
NANCY RICHARDSON FISCHER delivers an atmospheric, vividly descriptive, fascinating, adventurous, engaging, and well-written coming-of-age story here that is packed full of adventure, explores a complex father-daughter relationship, and a touch of romance to lighten the mood.
Danger “Danny” Danielle Warren and her TV celebrity survivalist dad were interesting characters to say the least. Even though the father wasn’t the greatest dad out there he definitely had his purpose in this story and I loved how Danny ended up coming to terms with so many different aspects to her character. She definitely grew as a character and the underlying message and love emanating from the words written were extremely palpable and packed quite the punch. Danny was definitely the shining star in this novel!
I took a step out of my normal here with reading The Speed of Falling Objects, and I am so glad I did. What a great surprise this one was. I loved the self-discovery adventure here I took with our main character Danger “Danny” Danielle Warren.
The Speed of Falling Objects has all the elements here to make this a thrilling edge of your seat emotional YA adventure for me. It’s an action-packed story of survival, a coming of age story with a touch of romance.
Nancy Richardson Fischer does such a great job here creating exciting characters. I am not a big fan of young voices at times, and it took me a bit to get into the head of Danny. Once I was, I was hooked and loved the personal and emotional conflicts Danny experiences and the adventure she took me on. I enjoyed seeing her grow and develop with each page. Now her Dad Cougar is a very unlikable character here, making his character a hard one to enjoy but he creates some interesting dynamics here to the story of survival for both the jungle and Danny.
The rainforest is brought alive and I was fascinated and terrified at the same time with the dangerous bugs and reptiles in the story. There is a lot of danger here and there is no shying away from details. It did feel at times a bit much with one thing after another; however I enjoy the thrilling fight of survival. I highly recommend it.
Thank you to Nancy Richardson Fischer for thinking of us and giving us the opportunity to read something different than we usually do.
