I listened to this on CD. Why so many books on CD all of a sudden? I have had a problem with my eye and since I need to do a lot of reading at work, I listen to books on tape to get my book fix with less eye strain.

This is a sweet book but it is definitely written in a "male" voice, which kept me from becoming fully involved. I'm not sure why but certain books really reach me, whether written in a male or female voice. In reading Thunder I was clearly an observer of the narrator's experiences.

A coming of age story in a dysfunctional family. It was ok, a bit drawn out with the decriptions of the settings but some might enjoy that.

Story of Rove McNee's (sp.?) coming of age told when he was an old man. Set in Fairhope, AL, it has characters from novel The Poet of Tolstoy Park (also by Brewer)--Anna Pearl Anderson, Katherine Anderson & Henry Stewart. Very compelling.
