The Fireman by Joe Hill
5.0

Whew! I'm exhausted. I love a good storytellin' book and this one fits the bill. There I was settled in my inner-tube floating along enjoying the heat of the sun and the cool of the water. The water started to get a bit choppy and I was picking up speed without even noticing. Then, in one fell swoop, I was in the rapids and all I could do is hang on for dear life and go with it. It was an intense and wild ride and I loved it! Joe Hill spares no detail, which is what makes this book such a tome, but I didn't feel that there were any parts that should have been edited out.

This is a dystopian post-apocalyptic tale, which I am frankly sick of reading about; BUT this one is too great to pass up. So well-written. The character development is so outstanding that you feel like you are right there with these folks living it as the story unfolds. I was so invested in this book that once I started reading I honestly could not put it down. I wanted to speed through it and at the same time I wanted to slow down and savor every word. It was torture and I loved it!
