Rumors abound that there is to be a second book, a sequel,
which is a good thing. I read fiction to escape, and I want all the loose ends
tied in neat bows by the time I get to the end. Many were tied, many were not,
and the ending left me wanting more. Much more. The problem is, I want the more
RIGHT NOW and he’s still writing it!
While I love series books, I do so enjoy it when each book
in the series comes to a satisfactory ending. Perhaps it’s my old age—I may not
be here when the sequel comes out ;-) I vacillated between 4 & 5 stars
because of the ending, but so enjoyed the rest of the book, I gave it 5.
Among the characters we meet are an old codger who howls
with the coyotes, a prodigy pianist, a teen with angst (don’t they all have
angst?), a rock star, and an (ex) street person. None of them take over the
book and they all balance each other. All are believable, and actually, all the
main characters are rather likable. They each had a story, and their stories
intermingled as they would in real life. We see in this book how our lives are
truly not insular no matter how reclusive we might think we are, but each thing
we do, each thing we say, affects other people.
I found the book worth my investment both in dollars and in
time (except for the first 3 chapters, I read it in one day!) and if you like a
good story, I think you’ll enjoy it too.
Thank you!!!
