Book Reviews of Chasing Fireflies: A Novel of Discovery
Book Review: I read it because I had to
Summary: 1 Stars
I read this book because I promised my sister I would join her book club. We all made suggestions and voted on reading this one, so I may have actually even suggested it based on what it was about. I am not a harsh critic either because I love books, I love reading and I like all types of genres. This was not a good read. It was incredibly over sentimental. The characters were predicatble and the dialogue was like watching a bad movie. I actually read the entire thing but would have put it down otherwise after the first 1/4 of it. The only thing I liked was the description of the south where it took place. The author went way overboard with his message of abandonment and whatever else he was trying to say. Whatever it was, I felt it crammed down my throat- how I was supposed to feel about the story and characters. If you want a really good read here are some of my favorites: 1. Truth & Beauty by Ann Patchett. 2. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert 3. Honeymoon with my Brother by Franz Wisner.
Summary of Chasing Fireflies: A Novel of Discovery
They have one summer to find what was lost long ago.
"Never settle for less than the truth," she told him. But when you don't even know your real name, the truth gets a little complicated. It can nestle so close to home it's hard to see. It can even flourish inside a lie. And as Chase Walker discovered, learning the truth about who you are can be as elusive--and as magical--as chasing fireflies on a summer night. A haunting story about fishing, baseball, home cooking, and other matters of life and death.
