Year I in Review: October ~ JIM THE BOY: A NOVEL by Tony Earley


Captive Thoughts Book Club began in October 2007 by reading Jim the Boy : A Novel by Tony Earley. We thoroughly enjoyed this coming of age story with its vivid descriptions of small town life and family relationships. Here are some comments from our members:

"Enjoyed it immensely! Great language, sweet story. I give it five stars!"

"Beautiful, descriptive prose and nice character development."

"A wonderful description of childhood and growing up and great word pictures! I loved its simplicity and depth."

Note: Comments from the first year may be quite brief, since we are compiling these notes many months after our discussions.
