This took almost 2 months to make it up my library hold list. Reviewers loved it, but I'm not there yet. Hopefully it improves as i get further along. This is a coming of age/relationships story that feels like it could be happening today. I'm only 70 pages in but so far there are only two real characters, pre-teen boys maturing into adulthood. None of this seems even remotely epic, nor does one get a clear sense of place. The events described could as well be happening in the Adirondacks. It's competently written and I'll likely finish it but I don't feel like it lives up to the advance notices. This may seem churlish, but I think if you're revisiting Homer you better bring your A-game.
I hope you enjoy Turtles All The Way Down as much as I did. That one is among my top 10 for the year.
Happy reading, Hermetic.
