![]() ![]() I liked the setting and the sense of place the book creates. There were a few things I liked about this book. ![]() Just a tall, stationary pole with a bike seat on top that his father gave him as a present for swimming the Ohio. And also there is this pole that MC always sits on. But then MC meets this stranger girl wandering through the woods, so for a while the book is about their strange relationship. But then MC meets a traveling man who has come to record his mother's excellent singing voice, so I thought the book was going to be about this. At first I thought the book was going to be about strip mining and the loss of the beauty of the natural world, because that is what was focused on in the beginning. Over the course of these few days quite a bit happens. ![]() Higgins, a boy living in the hills near the Ohio river. The book takes place over the course of a few days in the life of M.C. I know I zoned out for parts of it, but I was getting really tired of skipping back to catch what I missed. So I should start by saying I listed to this as an audiobook, and I have a terrible attention span when it comes to audiobooks. ![]()
