Dan,
If I could go back to high school,
I'd go as Eb and I'd go for Lizetta. But the use of Janice was brilliant
and kept me wondering what might be coming around the corner.
The
idea of a cloging quarterback was genius enough, but his maturity
colliding with his "high school kid-ness" made him a character you could
care for and believe in.
I taught English and
coached football, wrestling and tennis. I saw my players go through all
of this, but in a big city ... so I could feel the story ... I loved the
book.
One other item I got out of your writing
was the small doses of "women's issues here and a John Steinbeck
there," touches of important themes woven subtly into the text.
Hap
was great. Why didn't I have someone like that in high school and [there was] Eb's courage in his ability to give feedback and ask questions of people a
bit outside his comfort zone.
George Eliot said, "It's never too late to be what you might have been." This book proves it for you.
These are my thoughts at 10:45 just having finished the book and not trying to over think it. Congratulations.
Peter
Thank you, Peter. I'm touched and encouraged.
I'm gonna give Clog a read and review when I get the chance. You're actually my second friend/acquaintance to release their first novel this month and I haven't had a chance to start either (or the money to purchase them). But I'm looking forward to the read and I hope it throws some attention to your excellent memoirs.
