It is never a good sign when I have to repeatedly force myself to keep reading a book club book. Skip this one.

Doug Marlette was a very sweet and funny man. He came to my book club to answer our questions about his book and he was so thrilled to talk to people about it. He will be terribly missed.

Not to be missed. I also enjoyed Marlette's other novel, The Bridge.

Overall, I really like this book, although there were parts that did really drag on. Still, it was a good fictionalized account of Freedom Summer during the Civil Rights Era in the South. I may actually include this in my syllabus next time I teach social movements.
