The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because there was a definite bit of dragging and over reaching going on here... even so I might change my rating to 5 stars once I've processed...I don't think I've ever quite experienced writing like this. It was like language transcended... transformed and tra...
Fielding Bliss is an old man telling his story of the summer that changed everything. When you finish reading his story, you’ll completely understand why he’s now one of those nasty “Get off my lawn!” old guys. And you’ll also probably feel like crawling in a deep dark hole and never returning to pl...
Better than I initially thought.It was Chapter 23 when I finally got it and started to enjoy the story. It was like six degrees of separation, with much separation in between. And by separation, I mean, confusion.Oh, how I was confuzzled for most of this read. At times, I was lost at to what age the...

Not only was the story dark, it ...
#THESUMMERTHATMELTEDEVERYTHING I'm sitting here having just finished reading this book and I'm not sure exactly what to write. And I in no way mean that in a bad way. I just went on a journey that was majorly intense. There were so many controversial issues going on in this book. Plus there's the ...
I really had no idea what I was in for when I accepted the request to read/review from the author. This book... well, this is something completely different from my usual fare. At the beginning of the summer in 1984, Autopsy Bliss, our protagonist's father, a prosecutor in a small town in Ohio calle...
