Geri Ahearn's review:
GoneAway into the Land is a riveting tale of not just John's epic journey, but also our journey through life. The vivid description of "The Beast" is incredible. The remarkable journey is chilling, haunting, and mysterious as it takes the reader to a place with unforgettable consequences. John Greber tugs at the reader's heart as much as Trevor does in PAY IT FORWARD.
Jeffrey B. Allen's GoneAway into the Land transforms into an action - packed adventure that explodes with spectacular special effects, and the reader will indulge into an awe-inspiring experience as if viewing one of Steven Spielberg's finest!
Norm Goldman's review:
Using his own unique style and voice, Jeffrey B. Allen with GoneAway Into the Land has really stretched the limits of the traditional fantasy novel. Shifting in and out of fantasy, Allen cleverly intertwines the theme of child and spousal abuse with a land of the unknown.Take the journey into a Land like no other.With its deftly constructed plot, episodic structure, a lovable hero, interesting secondary characters, and a dash of suspense, Allen’s fascinating debut novel is a haunting tale that jolts along at its own pace. Moreover, Allen’s writing is extremely powerful particularly his imagery and masterful descriptions such as when John meets up with “The Beast.” And when all's said and done, we have a novel that is not only amazingly fitting for our times, but one that is rich and rewarding for anyone, young or old, wishing to ponder over insightful questions pertaining to our existence and journey through life.
Darlene Wenhold, English Literature, Quakertown Schools:
"Jeffrey B. Allen hooked me into this fantastical tale with his vivid description of the "beast" as seen through the eyes of young John Greber. There is, of course, more to the "beast" than meets the eye! As Allen's tale of good vs. evil unfolded before me, I found myself willingly traveling along with his charismatic characters into the lands of sweets bringing back so many wonderful sensory memories of my childhood. There is a real depth to this story; it can be appreciated on a variety of levels. GoneAway into the Land is a book you will want to read more than once!" |
