Boy's Life
by Robert R. McCammon
This, the only novel of McCammon's I've read, spans so many topics and includes so many different styles that it's difficult to put into a genre. To me, it was a coming-of-age murder mystery embracing magical realism; a charming but occasionally scary historical anti-racist story that took me instantly back to my own childhood in North Carolina and Florida during the 1960's and 1970's. I feel so much richer having read this. McCammon tackles big, important concepts as well as the small details of life, and does it so well you never notice the edges of the page-- each flows into the next effortlessly and compellingly. I highly recommend this, especially to boys of my own age. Enjoy!
