Review: Founder

Founder by L M Long

Summary (from Goodreads): They’ve been waiting for decades. Hidden deep in the Amazon. Financed by thousands. A colony called Founder. And one girl is about to unravel it all.

My Thoughts: This is a fascinating story, and made even more so when you consider that it’s (loosely) based on a true event! How people could buy into everything those in power are selling is just mind-boggling! But it’s also understanding. It’s all these people have ever known. I really don’t want to say too much, but suffice it to say that the story is very interesting and compelling, and the characters – especially Marta and Lara (the two from whose point of view we follow the tale) – are interesting people. Marta’s struggles and confusion are evident, as is Lara’s anguish. Very well done.

Unfortunately, lots of grammatical errors left me frustrated – very frustrated. Unfortunately, these problems are throughout the book and did hinder my complete enjoyment of the book. I believe that, if these issues were fixed, this would be a top-notch read.

Despite those issues, I would recommend this book to others. And I’m looking forward to Heritage, the next book in the Patron Identity Series – with an expected release in November.
