FIRST WILD CARD TOUR- book review
The Key to the Kingdom by Jeff Dixon
My take: There are a couple of things I need to set as background. First, I'm the type of person who generally picks up a fiction book and doesn't put it down until I have finished it. Second, while I enjoy Disney, particularly "classic" Disney, I'm not a rabid Disney fan.
This Disney-based mystery intrigued me though, and I was looking forward to reading it. However, it was a long way into the book before I hit that "can't put it down" point.
If you can suspend your disbelief, this book is a lot of fun. He roams Walt Disney World, going in and out of a bazillion attractions. I did visit Disney (World more than Land) reasonably frequently from around 1975-1985, so there was a lot that was familiar to me. The realism of the portions of the park with which I am familiar did make the whole setting of the story seem believable.
Hawk, the main character, is a pastor. At no point in the novel does the tone get preachy or in-your-face. But at least some aspects of Christianity are woven in.
If you are a Disney fan (rabid or not!) I think you would really enjoy this book. The Disney history is fabulous, and the fantasy aspect is fun.
