Summary: A great book by a very talented author.
Review: This is one of the most thought-provoking books that I have ever read. In the three days that it took me to read this book, I couldn't keep from thinking about it, wanting to know what would happen next. I have read many books in my life, some great, some not so great. Until I read Seven Hill City, I had never had such a cathartic experience.This author has a very real talent at making the mundane not so mundane. He represents small town every day life in a way that makes the reader feel he/she is in the middle of the story struggling right along with each character. I highly suggest this book to readers with all tastes! I cannot wait to read what Stroud comes up with next.

Summary: Seven Hill City, best surprise of the year
Review: What a work of art. It's funny, sad, happy, stupid, charming, elitist, heartwarming, enlightening, and just about everything else all at once, just like life: because it is a life. A life that grows up from a mushy green mound of cement. Five stars, and five more for the idea that the person who wrote this book will write a lot more.
