Nothing More Dangerous by Allen Eskens
3.0
Audio book review.
Small town boy makes a friend from next door and discovers how awful and racist some of his neighbors are. This feels like bits of Stephen King's IT with characters like Bill Denborough, Mike Hanlon, Henry Bowers, and Butch Bowers. This author doesn't take it to the extreme that King does, but it feels familiar enough that I was drawn in and needed to keep reading. I appreciate the atmosphere, the family dynamics, the characters and their motivations. I like that they are painted in a way that is just casual and friendly, this is how it is meant to be, and the antagonists are truly causing trouble for no reason outside of their own selfish jealousy and hatred. Would recommend, but I don't think I'll ever read it again.
