The Leapling by Nicholas Hall

[Nigel Gordon]

There is something about Nicholas's writing which always seems to capture my imagination and draw me in. I must say that I have not been a fan of all of his work, but even that which I did not like I have to respect for the quality of his writing and his ability to evoke a time and a place with minimal description. A sure sign of a highly talented writer. In the first chapter of 'The Leapling', he has managed to build a picture of time and place which is tangible. More importantly, he has laid the foundation for what appears to be a very interesting story. I cannot wait to read the next chapter.
