I MISS YOUR PURPLE HAIR is a survival adventure centered upon 15-year-old Veronica "Violet" Lima and her father, Mateo. When an apocalyptic series of earthquakes and tsunamis ravages the Earth, they find themselves trapped in the ruins of the San Diego Zoo. The quakes have ended many lives, freed the wild zoo animals, unleashed toxic gases, and created an organic prison from which escape appears impossible.
Tensions escalate as temperatures soar and limited resources are depleted. Violet struggles to recover from injuries suffered during the quake and begins to piece together vital clues, thanks to the blessing of her burgeoning psychic gifts. Mateo perseveres despite the harsh conditions and his own near-death experience, compelled to protect his daughter from additional harm. The band of exhausted survivors press on in search of any possible escape route... until one among them risks everything in a quest for salvation.

An agonizing book with just enough 'like' in it to keep me going. The writing style is awkward and I swear the author had to have been sitting with a thesaurus in hand to come up with the oddest word combinations. Definitely NOT a smooth writing style! Various people are caught at the San Diego Zoo post-tsunami-earthquake-awesome storm. I'm not sure that the meteorology and geology scenarios could play out in 'real life' but I'm not an expert in either. I just know that reading the apocalyptic descriptions felt 'off'. Some of the people (especially the children) have 'special' mental powers....think 'reading auras', psychic links, Indigo people with super-evolved enlightened status. Lots about 'synchronicity'. Not my cup of tea. My primary interest involved the zoo locale and I was quite curious about how it would play into the story-line. I was disappointed as very few animals contribute to the plot: a pair of bottlenose dolphins, a blue-eyed white wolf which turned into a kind of 'spirit guide', and brief bits about loose monkeys, peacocks, dead hummingbirds etc. The group hides up in a damaged reptile house which would seem to add some tension via escaped reptiles....nope. The book ended abruptly with an afterward touching on only a very few of the characters, leaving the reader to wonder what happened to the rest of the group, and whether the pair of dolphins survived. I'm not apt to recommend this book to anyone I know. To be honest, it reads much like the freebie-type of kindle book and I did not get it for free (grump). The reviews are mostly positive, which is a surprise to me.A much smoother read involving California 'big' earthquakes: The Walk.

I Miss Your Purple Hair edition by Robert R Chandler Elizabeth A Chandler Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
As an avid reader, I am always looking for that next unique read that takes me somewhere new. It was so refreshing to find that in "I Miss Your Purple Hair." From the beginning I felt as if I were being introduced to new, intriguing friends.
The relationship between Mateo and Violet displayed a strong bond between a father and daughter that is very hard to put into words but Robert Chandler succeeded. All the characters, brought together by a disaster at the San Diego Zoo, showed different aspects of people we all know in everyday life. They were developed to such a point where you felt you were getting to know friends as the story progressed.
Not only were the images painted vividly with words but the suspense made the book very difficult to put down. A fulfilling ending only made it more worthwhile. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a book that gives an insightful look into the human mind and causes you to look at yourself, your environment and those around you.
I can certainly understand why this excerpt is in the category it's in. At the end of reading it I had chills. I've always wondered what it would be like to have visions, but after reading this, I'm not sure I'm made to find out.
The writing was very clean and easy to read. The characters are realistic - I think the author is very good at introducing the characters into the story. I liked how in the second chapter Jason goes home and I felt how normal and loving his family is, but at the same time I knew something was going to happen. Very good.
It's so hard to get a feel for where this story is going because the excerpt is too short for a story like this. I was just getting hooked when it ended. Good Luck!
Clearly this story is going somewhere and the concept of premonition will play into it. Maddeningly, the excerpt ends before we get to learn where we're going. Definite promise. It's difficult with a work like this to give a fair critique because the story is obviously complex and it's not possible to know what is integral to the story. I wonder if the story couldn't start with the vision of the lady bug? Most everything before this story is repeated again. The same thing happens in chapter two. The Jason dream is very well done, but then all of the details are repeated a second time. Not sure if the redundancy is deliberate. If the details, (example the nextdoor neighbors name and the fact that he's getting out the trash) aren't important to the story, consider dropping them. Good charcters. Good imagery.
Both story lines -- the father/daughter relationship in chapter one, and the story of Jason and his eerily prophetic dream in chapter two -- are vividly drawn. Mateo and Violet's lighthearted emotions play well against the subtle tensions stirred by an absent yet present-in-mind mother and the possibly ominous significance of the strange evening star. The portent of the more graphic second chapter leaves this reader pondering the connection between these two seemingly opposing story lines.
On occasion, extraneous information pulled my mind away from the story. For example, "A native of Costa Rica, Mateo was deeply sensitive and peace loving." The connection in this short sentence between being Costa Rican and being sensitive and peace loving seemed strange. As for Mateo's sensitivity and peaceful nature, these traits are made clear in his actions with no need for additional explanation. The use of quotation marks formed another minor distraction. For example, "Violet," "random thoughts," and "the zone," I found extraneous. I think most readers would recognize Violet as an endearing nickname without need of quotation marks. As for "random thoughts," well, they're just random thoughts (although the author may be trying to imply something deeper here). Although minor, and easy-to-remedy if necessary, they redirected my mind from the story to the text. Metafiction aside, the text should never draw attention to itself.
Description is a strong point in this excerpt. The playfulness of Mateo and his daughter -- her throwing grass on his chest and head, their relaxed conversation, and the pointing out of the strange star on the darkening horizon -- help in fleshing out the characters. The strength of the story line along with the author's ability to give it life, leave me believing this novel has all the ingredients for a satisfying and perhaps even enlightening read.
An agonizing book with just enough 'like' in it to keep me going. The writing style is awkward and I swear the author had to have been sitting with a thesaurus in hand to come up with the oddest word combinations. Definitely NOT a smooth writing style! Various people are caught at the San Diego Zoo post-tsunami-earthquake-awesome storm.
