#ThrowbackThursday. The Hour I First Believed

 

Lamb, Wally "The Hour I First Believed" - 2008

I like all books by Wally Lamb and it is hard to choose a favourite. But this could be it.

The author always finds a great way to describe people's feelings, little by little he dissects any situation. I love his style. He has a great way of telling a story. There is so much humanity in this book, so even though a lot of negative events happen, it still is a book of hope and love.

The novel is primarily Columbine High School and the shooting, it combines so many other topics. I thoroughly enjoyed this very descriptive book.

We discussed this in our international book club in January 2010.

  1. I've never read this author, and I don't even know why. So many people really like his books. But like you always say, you can't read them all. :)
