Summary: Sad, beautiful, poignant, uplifting...
Review: wonderful, awe-inspiring...I could go on and on. I read this novel when I was about 13; it is still one of my favorite books all these years later. Although a "science fiction" novel, it transcends the genre. Pangborn was a fine writer who just happened to write science fiction. Set in a post-Apocalyptic world who knows how many years hence, it is the coming-of-age story of a young man, Davy, who is part Tom Jones and part Huck Finn. The word "unique" is not inappropriate to apply to this book. I've never read anything like it, and wish there were others similiar to it.
