Book Reviews of The Hottest State: A Novel
Book Review: balanced
Summary: 3 Stars
As there is a limited story line, the novel is thankfully (and cunningly) quite short. It only took me about a day to read it and I have to say that I was totally absorbed by each page. Ethan Hawke manages to make you viualise the events as though you are sitting in a movie with very basic but effective descriptions, and a refreshing tendency to create believable characters that aren't perfect. I was not utterly convinced with William's chracter, but Sarah was so subtley troubled that she made up for any lacking on his part by the writer. This wouldn't necessarily be a book for everyone however. It gives an almost realistic insight into the struggles of the first love teinted by obsession, but I think that aspect may be hard to apprecaite if that particular sentiment has never been felt by the reader. I thoroughly recommend this book, and just hope that Ethan Hawke attempts to develop his talents for writing aswell as the ones he possess for acting.
