Maybe I should have listened more carefully in my history classes. The author seemingly did not take this into account when writing the book, giving no description, or even hint, of the "iconic" characters and events included. Even though it is fiction, which I thoroughly enjoy, it was a period fiction piece from a recent part of history that I did not experience.the 60's. After the first few pages, let alone the first chapter, I knew this one was going to be difficult. I was so excited that I immediately started reading that night. The book tells the story of a middle-class American boy living in Ohio and his adventures over the summer in 1960. I received this book before I received the material from another publishing company I had been approved for almost 2 weeks earlier. I was seriously impressed with the speediness of the whole transaction. They immediately sent out my first book, The Summer the Wind Whispered My Name by Don Locke. When you get a book that doesn't tease you all the way until the end, it can be a drag to have to finish the book until you can get your next "fix."Īt the end of January, I contacted NavPress and was approved as a book review blogger for them. There is a constant supply of free books in a variety of genres. Being a book review blogger definitely has its perks.
