Loved This Book!! November 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I absolutely Loved this book.
The details were extremly vivid.
I was able to actually form images in my head as I was reading the book and envision the events as they were unfolding.
The Characters were likable and believable, you actually start to form a bond with Sara and feel sorry for her.
You can also feel and relate to the stress building within Jess because of the need to help Sara.
I highly recommend this book, I could not put it down.
It would make an Excellent Movie, I rate it right up there with Stephen King's Firestarter

Just finished the ARC I was fortunate to receive, and this was a nice departure from his excellent debut, Bloodstone. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in his young career, and at 276 pages, this book fairly zips along. The main characters are well drawn, and the inevitable conclusion is excellent and sets the stage for a possible sequel. Great action scenes, and a strong protagonist make for a great book. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Craig

The Perfect Read November 13, 2008

Awesome read. The characters, details are described so well it is truly like a movie playing in your head. The storyline is gripping, Jess (the main character) is a very likeable person and the best part is that you really never know what Sarah will do next..so it keeps you reading. Anyone who reads this will be waiting for another to see where it takes us and how these characters develop. Five stars and highly recommended!

Review November 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Ten years old, Sarah has pretty much lived her whole life in a mental hospital. Dr. Wasserman at The Wasserman Facility has diagnosed Sarah as being a schizophrenic. Sarah isn't your normal schizophrenic; in fact Sarah is also a psychic. Jess Chambers has studied the extreme child psychology cases and that is why she is very excited to be able to meet young Sarah. The doctors at The Wasserman Facility have been able to control Sarah. You know the saying "Be careful what you wish for", well Jess is about to find out that wishes are not always a good thing. After Jess meets Sarah strange and scary things start happening at the facility that no one not even Sarah could predict.

This book was filled with plenty of intense and electrifying horror. The Reach started out very strong and ended on a high note. I thought Sarah was a normal ten year old; ok maybe she happened to have a unique gift but other then that fact, Sarah just wanted to have a voice and be heard. Dr. Wasserman won't let that take place. So what happens when someone who has not been able to speak for ten years, finally gets the chance...the end result is Nate Kenyon's The Reach; a book that will not disappoint and leave you wanting more. The Reach is the first book I have read by Mr. Kenyon. I can assure you that I will be reading more books by this very talented author.

superb thriller November 27, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

She was born with an out of control psychokinetic skill of a fire bringer who burned down the hospital when she left the womb. Her grandparents raised Sarah Voorsanger until their fear of her ability following a few haunting incidents made them dump her on the state. They believe she is the Antichrist.

In Boston the state has locked away the ten years old Sarah so she can harm no one. Helix Pharmaceuticals conduct experiments on her using drugs that stimulate psychic skills. Psychology graduate student Jess Chambers is shocked by the treatment the preadolescent child receives. She vows to somehow rescue Sarah, especially when she realizes the lack of restraint the child has in keeping her talent in check while Helix is trying to amplify what is already dangerous.

This nod to King's Firestarter, THE REACH is a superb thriller as the "evil" private sector gigantic pharmaceutical wants to use the girl (instead of the government). The story line is simple and kept that way throughout, which just enhances the tension of a twenty something heroine all alone battling a Goliath in order to save a child that in the belief of the would be rescuer, subsequently many more people too if Sarah is pushed beyond what her mind can accept as rational.
