Recently I was sent the book The Key to the Kingdom by Jeff Dixon to review. Here is a synopsis from the author:
Grayson Hawkes learns how imaginative and elaborate Walt Disney World is when he accepts an invitation one sunny day from a trusted friend landing him in a world he never knew existed. Barely escaping a late night encounter, he finds himself desperately trying to solve a mysterious disappearance while trying to stay ahead of those who are chasing him. He navigates through the kingdom where knowledge of seemingly unimportant Disney facts and some divine help are the only way he can discover the lock that can only be opened by an ancient key. His world becomes even more complicated when he is captivated by mysterious woman, causing him to make a series of choices that takes his faith to the brink. Within the walls of Walt Disney World is more mystery than one imagination can contain. Here Disney Trivia is not a game; and the ancient key is the only way out!
While I found the story an easy read with an interesting story line, I found it a bit out-of-the-ordinary for me. The story line was a bit odd in some parts. Part of the issue may be that I am not familiar with Disney World or the stories involved. To be honest, I have a few Disney movies I like and I stick to those. If you are a Disney fan though, this book is something you would probably like. The story is involved and easy to follow. Plus, it is fun to think about what would happen if you were put in this situation. I, personally, would be nervous and scared, but Grayson Hawkes certainly acted much stronger. Would I like to hold the Key to the Kingdom? It sure sounds like an interesting job to me… and I think it would be fun to have a fire pole to slide down (you have to read the story to know what I mean!).
I would recommend this book as it is well written. If you are lover of all things Disney, I think you will enjoy it even more than others, like me, who aren’t as knowledgeable on Disney.
You can purchase The Key to the Kingdom from Barnes and Noble or through the website. You can also become a fan of The Key to the Kingdom on Facebook or follow @DeepRiverBooks on Twitter.
