You have a few interlocking paths moving forward in The Toll, including two elderly women and their adopted son, a man running the local bar without much memory of his past, and a young man in search of his new wife. There were several intriguing characters and backstories to be found, and a mystery that held my attention up until the final fifty pages or so. Over the course of a week, I read The Toll in the midst of a five or six other titles.įor the most part, I really enjoyed the story. The writing worked for me, and the brief synopsis got my attention enough that I decided to take out a loan on the book. Then, quite at random (as I’ve been with books this first month of the new year), I spotted The Toll in my library and read its opening chapter. As far as the readers I generally trust, I didn’t have much hope in The Toll judging by their experiences with the book, so I ignored its release. Last year, I saw this title a lot – people seemed either very disappointed by it, or loved it.
