Book Reviews of Firefly Rain (Discoveries)
Book Review: Rural NC at its finest
Summary: 4 Stars
I think my favorite parts were the descriptions of the small town, Maryfield, and the people in it. Dansky really captures rural North Carolina in flux between encroaching technology and homogenization with its traditional (and quirky) community roots. The narrator is caught somewhere in between, and I found myself more interested in this dilemma and how it related to the main story than the surface story itself--and I say that not to detract from the main plot but to highlight the depth of the writing.
One of the few detractions is a predictability not in Logan's actions or the plot but in some of Logan's internal analysis of his situation.
Overall, I found it clever and a good read. I finished most of it in one sitting because I'd gotten attached to the main character--despite how frustrated I was with him at times.

In a small town with dark secrets, one man struggles to find a way out before the spirit of the town can find a way in.
