How I Heard About It:
*This seems to be one of the summer's "buzzed" about novels published for adults. I bought toward the end of the school year, brought it on vacation to Mexico, and had a couple wonderful full days of reading. Quite the page turner!
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
*Jacob Fitch Bonner is an author who has had one somewhat successful novel out in the world.
*As he is working on his second book, he takes a teaching job at a writer's college.
*It is here that he meets Evan Parker, a young writer, who thinks he has the next great American Novel.
*Jacob waits and waits for the release of Evan's sure-fire story, but it never comes. He finds out that Evan has died and his story hasn't been published.
*Jacob takes the "seed" idea, writes the story and finds himself with a best seller. He also finds more complications than he bargained for.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*With somewhat of a slow start, I was a bit nervous I wasn't going to enjoy the story.
Who Should Read It:
*I do think most adult readers would find this a great summer read. The novel is also for all the "nerdy" readers out there who love reading about authors, publishers, and the world in which they live. Happy Reading!
