Review of Of the Earth
[Following is a volunteer review of "Of the Earth" by Kim Cousins.]
Of the Earth by Kim Cousins is a novel centering around a group of people persecuted because of a new world order. The new world order mandated every citizen to denounce their faith and accept the mark. Those who refuse are sentenced to death. Even with the mouth-watering benefits that come with the mark, some Christians blatantly refused to accept the mark. While some of these Christians were caught, some were able to escape and set up their habitation in a valley. Jim, a former military, found himself in the valley while searching for his friends. Nelli and Miah welcomed him and he soon became part of them. The entire habitant received an intel through Thomas Myers about how the peacekeepers (new world order enforcers) planned to transport defiant Christians who refused to receive the mark to their execution site. Plans were set up to intercept the convoy, free the Christians and loot the peacekeepers' supplies. The people went ahead with the plans, but a miracle happened. However, with enemies lurking around, the likelihood of natural disasters, and the poor living conditions of the people, it remains to be seen if the settlement will continue to exist and grow.
Of the Earth is an interesting and captivating book. I enjoyed the brief personification the author introduced between Mattie, the puppy and Carl, the cat; it adds a little humor to the book. Another thing I find commendable about the book are the maps on pages 49 (original) and 131 (after the disaster) which the author uses to further describe the valley settlement. It gives the reader the proper comprehension of each character and their individual habitation. I also like how the author narrated the different scenes and acts at different locations without causing confusion. I will also commend the author for including the footnotes at the end of the pages, as these footnotes help in referencing as well as enhancing better understanding of difficult words, abbreviations and phrases.
Of the Earth is really interesting, action-filled and suspenseful. I find no fault in the book. The words used are unambiguous, and the book was well proofread as errors in the book are rare and are mostly in conversations.
I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book was well proofread and edited. Also, the plot of the book is perfect and, the characters and all the actions are properly described to ensure easy comprehension.
I would recommend Of the Earth to everybody interested in reading a good novel. The book is also suitable for new Christian converts who wish to learn more about Christ.
