The Caretaker of Lorne Field by Dave Zeltserman, 237 pages


Jack Durkin's family has been caretakers for Lorne Field for 9 generations. This job involves spending 12 hours a day, weeding a giant field of mutant plants that threaten the world otherwise. But the respect that came with this job has dissolved over the last few years, no one seems to believe that there is a threat. Jack watches his family, home, and basic way of life fall apart. Will Jack continue to fulfill his duties, or will he give up, and consign the world to destruction? Or do these weeds even pose a threat except in Jack's imagination? This was an interesting read, I spent the book trying to decide if there truly were evil weeds or if they were a figment of Jack's imagination. This was a pretty good psychological thriller, worth picking up.
