The Spectacular Now
by Tim Tharp
The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp is a wonderful story of Sutter Keely, a boy who has no plans for the future other than having fun. Sutter is so laid back many are convinced he doesn’t have a pulse perhaps that is why his girlfriend Cassidy has left him.
Sutter Keely reminds me quite a bit of Holden Caufield, but all the best parts and none of him is “phony”. In fact the book has been hailed “…as a 21st-centruy response to The Catcher in the Rye.” (Tulsa World). It is a beautiful novel about love, growing up, and being afraid of what the future holds. Sutter is imaginative and real. He is the realest young adult protagonist I have ever seen. The love story between Aimee and Sutter is a subtle one but that is the charm to it. This has become one of my favorite books! I whole-heartedly recommend!
