Book Reviews of Wrack and Ruin: A Novel
Book Review: Exactly what I needed!
Summary: 5 Stars
For the last several years, I've been searching for an author who can compare with TR Pearson's hilarious reflections on small town life--I think Don Lee may be it! I analogize this book to movies. For me, I most often want to see serious films that tell a logical story based in reality--the so called "art house films". But there are other times when I just want to be entertained in only the way a huge blockbuster, disconnected from reality can do. When I walk out of a good blockbuster, my only lasting thought is, that's exactly what I wanted at that moment--it's not going to change my life. This book was my blockbuster film. The story is WAY over the top and the characters come up at you at NASCAR speeds, but if you know that going in, and you sit back and let it all happen around you, you'll enjoy the ride.
