Boy's Life,
Mr. McCammons prose flow like sweet melted butter. Robert McCammons writing is top notch, head and shoulders above the rest. This is perhaps the best coming of age story I have ever read.
A murder in the small southern town of Zephyr is merely the canvas used to paint a much larger tale of a boy's life. The character's we engage along the way are sweet, innocent, mean, burly, soulless and soulful. All the colors of emotion wrapped into an elegant tale. This is an exciting and very moving novel. I laughed as well as cringed at the antics of all the people I had the pleasure to meet. I also felt the warmth and sadness of the love and loss that was encountered along the way.
To say this is simply a coming of age story would be like calling the Golden gate bridge "Just a bridge" This book is a true master piece, written by a master, a timeless classic, one that I shall always treasure.
