Boy's Life | Robert McCammon
post image

Having finished Speaks The Nightbird, jumping right in to another McCammon read. Boy‘s Life. This is a coming of age story with a fantastic mystery plot. It is haunting, tragic, magical and uplifting. Definitely get those King coming of age vibes reminiscent of The Talisman and Fairy Tale. McCammon is becoming my favorite author. A must read.

Cory‘s summer vacation starts with a murder and only gets wilder from there.

I can appreciate the technical skill and the impressive setting descriptions here, but lord this was slow after the 1st chapter. We open with a murder, then nothing really substantial happens with it until the last 2.

Very slice of life, but a life where the peril is ramped up to 11. Chapters felt very disconnected, like ficlets. It had a Goonies feel to it. 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

I don‘t bail often, and I really wanted to like this one. But 150 pages in and it wasn‘t holding my attention, I found myself doing everything but reading 😕

Life‘s too short and there are too many books to force myself to finish the ones I‘m not enjoying.

I'm not sure how any review could do this book justice. A coming-of-age story about a boy in Alabama in the 60's, desperate to help solve the mystery that haunts his dad. This book has something for everyone - family, mystery, and a flare of supernatural. Absolutely loved it!

This is a murder mystery, a magical coming of age story, an exploration of the changing times of the 60‘s as seen through the father (a milkman who sees his job threatened by a new grocery store filled with plastic bottles of milk! Gasp!).There is a hint of To Kill a Mockingbird in the way bullies and racists are portrayed and a satisfying comeuppance for those folks. Oh and the bike, Rocket, with an eagle eye in the headlight! A worthy companion.

Set in Zephyr, Alabama, in the 1960s, the story begins when 11-year-old Cory and his father see a car plunge into a lake. When his father attempts to rescue the driver, he sees a terrible, haunting vision of death. As Cory tries to understand how traumatized his father now is, his eyes are opened to the forces of good and evil in his “idyllic” hometown. It‘s a story of losing your innocence and the magic of childhood.

Amazing! McCammon is such an incredible writer. He has a way of developing characters that leave me sad when I finish reading the last page because I don't want them to leave.

There is so much depth to this story that at first just seems like a coming of age tale set in the South. As events unfold, you become a part of a world where ghosts are real and monsters lurk in dark waters.

I can't recommend McCammon enough. Read him if you haven't yet.

This was just wonderful. If SK does ‘northern US small town, McCammon does ‘southern US small town.‘ Coming of age novel, written brilliantly in that way that shows all our hopes, fears and challenges as we‘re growing up.

A great October spooky read! Definitely some of the same feels as Stand By Me / The Body.

It is episodic, though, which slows the pace but also lowers the tension.
