Early from the Dance: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: coming of age candy
Review: This coming of age novel offers tons of connects for men. desire for a best friend's girl, a tryst with an older woman, a glorious lost summer. david payne starts slow and he is a little too proud of his prose at times. but the end does prove to be satisfying. this isn't the revelation that something like "catcher in te rye" proves to be and i'd take "all the kings men" over this for a grand southern tragedy.

Review: This is the second time I've reviewed this book - it's the best book I've read and continues to stay with me. Will be working on the fourth reading soon. Also, David Payne and his wife are writing the *screenplay* - how wonderful! Email me at [e-mail] for the link to the article, or just to talk about the book.
