Sundays in August: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Disjointed, very disappointing
Review: A compelling story that captures being a youth in Grand Junction Colorado in the late 50s-early 60s. Includes family problems, race/diversity, drama. Well written and Most interesting for people who know GJ and will relate to the disguised, but easily recognizable town and surroundings. (for example: Leo the Lion, Grand Mesa, Lincoln park, etc.)

Summary: Great story plus descriptions of Grand Junction Colorado

Summary: Disjointed, very disappointing
Review: Interesting but disjointed characterization marks this book. The author stereotypes his attorney-character in a time warp that just doesn't work - how many Hispanic lawyers were practicing law in the '50s in rural Colorado? Try Zero. This first attempt just tries too hard.

Rating:
Summary: a coming of age novel with wonderful characters
Review: Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Great writing, colorful characters, great plot. This is a first novel that is worth looking at. Looking forward to future work by this interesting author.
