Read Book Review

Joann Klusmeyer is a one-of-a-kind writer. The author is brilliant in her narration and knows how to capture the readers’ attention. When Joann Klusmeyer describes a character, you get to picture the character in your head. She is excellent with the description and portrayal of characters, their physical traits, habits and general outlook.

Joann Klusmeyer involves her readers throughout the reading. I applaud the author for using friendly language and being modest throughout the book. Joann Klusmeyer’s characters are not the only exciting in the book, it is the arrangement and flow of the storyline too. While reading Treasure Chest, one feels as if they are part of the story and virtually get to experience what the characters are going through due to the author’s commendable attention to detail.

While reading Treasure Chest, the reader gets to ask self-different questions and imagine themselves in the situation in the book. We follow Laura Cooper; a girl who some may think is an enigma until they get to know her. Laura was not your average girl next door. I liked her from the start of the book, as everything she did was distinct from others. Laura lived a decent life and went through experiences that her peers went through. She was however special in her own way. Then the time to leave what Laura had known as home came. Was she ready? Had she been preparing all throughout her prior days? Imagine leaving your place of birth to a new world where you are not familiar with things. When narrating the plot, Joann Klusmeyer gets one to feel like they are having the same experience along with Laura Cooper, and that is one of the techniques which make her an excellent author.

Treasure chest, in one word, is refreshing. You get to be entertained while learning more about human traits and behavior. The author knows what to focus on when telling the story and so she makes the book exciting to read. Every chapter has something that the reader gets to love; it could be the characters’ strong stands, dilemma, plot twists, or a happy ending. I enjoyed every chapter of this book and would recommend it to readers who love reading fiction stories which have lessons that could help one in real life. Laura Cooper’s life, and the steps she made, are a good way of getting to learn about growth and sharpening one’s decision-making skills.

I applaud the author once again for writing an engaging book. Once you start reading, you get consumed by the happenings in the book and forget about real life for a minute. I especially liked how Treasure Chest started, with a little suspense before getting the reader to fully understand what the context was about. Introducing characters and events while leaving some specifics unexplained is a clever concept from the writer as it gets the reader to keep going. One’s urge to know more about a particular character, their roles, and how they relate with others, increases as you page through the book, thanks to Joann Klusmeyer’s excellent writing style.
