Re: Review of The Bridge

Post by Ogunkoya Mayowa »

A fiction book that talks about how Ben and Esther work on an assignment about the Quebec Bridge disaster, where they later unearth an exciting discovery that the engineer was rightfully concerned about the bridge’s construction. I like how the book characters were well developed. I'm glad you enjoyed reading the book. Nice review.

This sounds very ominous and fascinating. I've never heard of the Quebec Bridge, but I'd love to learn about it. I'd be very interested in finding out what Ben and Esther do with their discoveries. Great review!

I’m predisposed to read any book in this genre, but you have made me curious about the dynamic between Esther and Ben, the representatives of the fictional aspect of this book. It's difficult enough to maintain the integrity of any historical account when blending it with fiction without the character development that Palmer seems to have done well.

Aside the potential thrill that this book promises, it will enlighten the reader on some historical events such as the unfortunate collapse of the Quebec bridge in 1916.

The book appears to be incredibly engaging. The only issue I have with these novels is that it can be difficult to distinguish between historical fact and fantasy at times. Congratulations on BOTD.
