New Boots

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful tale of first love, adventure, and class coflict
Review: Louis Fagan's first novel, New Boots, is a pleasurer to read. His descriptions of the lush Adirondack Mountains, and the grand Water's Edge Inn are reminicent of Hardy. The images are vivid and immersing. One feels the moonlight and desires to bath in it, along with the characters. Classic passion and romance are again alive, not because the author says that they are, but because the reader feels the pervasion of their presence from start to finish. Although New Boots is an old tale, Fagan spins a new yarn. This story of condemned love is so beautifully written one forgets that he has heard the story many times before. After all, the best stories are those worth repeating and rereading over and over. I look forward to reading this gifted author's sophmore novel.

Summary: great read
Review: When I first read this book, I didnt know what to expect, but I was completely immersed within pages. I just wanted this love story to keep going and going. I cannot wait to read Mr. Fagan's next book, and I will definately be first in line when it comes out!
