Roiling with love and torment, lunacy and desire, hilarity and tenderness, Geronimo Rex is the bildungsroman of an unlikely hero. Reared in gloomy Dream of Pines, Louisiana, whose pines have long since yielded to paper mills, Harry Monroe is ready to take on the world. Inspired by the great Geronimo's heroic rampage through the Old West, Harry puts on knee boots and a scarf and voyages out into the swamp of adolescence in the South of the 1950s and '60s. Along the way he is attacked by an unruly peacock; discovers women, rock 'n' roll, and jazz; and stalks a pervert white supremacist who fancies himself the next Henry Miller.</div> 89903 1972 Geronimo Rex total:126|5:41|4:54|3:27|2:4|1:0| 126 510 176 9 93249 0802135692 9780802135698 126 9 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171253161m/93249.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93249.Geronimo_Rex 0 2 false Wed Jun 20 11:17:28 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 11:30:19 -0700 2007 93249 0802135692 9780802135698 126 9 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171253161m/93249.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93249.Geronimo_Rex 3 0 false Thu Apr 23 08:50:10 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 08:52:08 -0700 2009 93249 0802135692 9780802135698 126 9 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171253161m/93249.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93249.Geronimo_Rex 3 0 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Mar 19 18:43:52 -0700 2007 Mon Mar 19 18:50:12 -0700 2007 Geronimo Rex is a pretty fun read - I admit to being a little biased since Hannah was raised outside of my hometown and the book discusses some settings of nostalgia for me.

This book was given to me as a gift a few years ago and boy am I glad I know someone who would give me such a gift. The story of Harry Monroe really resonated with me (I was born in Louisiana myself).
