Book Review of The Hour I First Believed

The Hour I First Believed
reviewed on + 234 more book reviews


Although the book was tied up neatly at the conclusion, I felt it was too long and encompassed too many stories. I skipped through a chapter or two that was entirely on family history and tried to focus more on the happenings of Caelum and his wife Maureen. I thought the book would be more about Columbine, but instead it seemed to focus on the past and how Caelum's legacy impacted his present and future life.

This is not a book I liked well, but I think the author is truly a good storyteller. It was just too long for me, and in my humble opinion covered too many life spans and trials and tribulations to make it really enjoyable for me.
