Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon
3.0
The most essential part of this chunky book, to me, was pages 470-488. I also enjoyed the dad’s character development over all more than the main character. Quite a bit of this was not really fun to read.
Yeah it was neat to read about a kid growing up during quite a difficult turning point for a multitude of reasons, beginning with the cracking of his town’s existence from the man who ended up in the lake. Everything just unwound from there with social justices, old traditions fading, old ways dissolving in general and the faster paced life abruptly affecting so many lives. Quite a bit of it was rough and I understand why. Half of it felt so bizarre and out of place, it just made my personal journey through it mostly distracted and frustrated. A boy’s mind can be fantastical, but things like the car chase and such were just not my thing.
