The Paperboy by Pete Dexter
5.0
This was a fantastic book. It is a tragedy but written with such honesty and perfect flow, that I savored every word. At times, Dexter would put in platitudes in the story, such as, "People do things when they are ready." Somehow Dexter made it work to be a special moment where, I, as a reader, stopped and reflected on that simple meaning.
About 60% of the way in the book, I knew that I was in a ride into the depth of the darkness of life and the human soul, but I was so entranced with the story that I plowed on. (Don't know if I want to watch the movie, though!)
