A review by rmarcin
The Hush by John Hart

3.0

It pains me to give a John Hart novel only 3 stars. While The Hush was well written, with beautiful prose, the story was too strange for me.
Things I liked:
- the total and deep bond between Johnny Merrimon and Jack Cross
- the friendship of Leon and Johnny
- the complete love between Clyde Hunt and his stepson, Johnny
- the love for Hush Arbor felt by Johnny
Things I didn't like
- the violence of what was hidden in the Hush
- the meanness of Verdine
- the hold the Hush had over so many families
- the supernatural undertone of the century old story
John Hart is an amazing writer, but this one just didn't do it for me.
