Book Review: My Test of A 5 Star Read
Summary: 5 Stars
My test of a 5 star review is simple. When I finish the book, the characters are so alive within me that I cannot jump into another book right away. I finished Now Is The Hour on Monday and it is now Thursday. I still have not started a new book and I am a 3-4 books a week reader. I have read all of Tom Spanbauer and this tome rivals The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon in its ability to transcend the page and come to life.
Summary of Now Is the Hour
Rigby John Klusener is hitchhiking to San Francisco. The year is 1967, the town is Pocatello, Idaho. Fresh out of high school, Rigby John is leaving behind his bohemian ex-girlfriend, his prayerful mother, his distant father, and the hay dust of his harsh farm town Catholic upbringing. As he stands by the side of the road desperately waiting for that one ride out, he reflects on the events that brought him there: the discovery of love, friendship, literature, and all the small joys that set him free. At once a tale of sexual awakening, racial enlightenment, and personal epiphany, Now Is the Hour is the disarming and sweetly winning story of one unforgettable teenager who dares to hope for a different life.Contemporary Books
