A real blockbuster of a read
Revisado: 03-15-25
I got a huge kick out of this novel. It vividly recreates the American south in 1975, including slices that do not get much attention, like the inner workings of a movie theater. The cast of characters is carefully drawn, especially the narrator Nate, and the co-hero Spence.
It provides a perfect mix of comedy, mystery, suspense, and coming-of-age story.
The narrator's southern drawl brings the characters to life, and he deftly handles various accents. The energy grows as he brings the story to a frenetic conclusion.
It took me back to the feeling of a simpler time -- much needed in these complex days.
I hope that the author can produce other monuments of the same time period.
