What I have been reading for the past 5 days or so...

The Hour I First Believed: A Novel The Hour I First Believed: A Novel by Wally Lamb


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is was no less than a tour-de-force in a life. I felt the "current events" that were visited in the book (9/11, Katrina, Columbine) were integral to the story, insofar as these are the events that are in the American social psyche. Artful and meaningful, and evoked lots of introspection from me as well. That is what I want from any work of art. This is.
