4.0

Despite the unassuming name of the book - Virgil Wander - the descriptions of the place, the characters, and the events provide a rich  mosaic for your imagination.  To me it is a calming  book to read when you are rattled.  The book conveys a sense of community despite some character flaws.  There are  a couple characters that feel like outsiders - one might benefit from feeling accepted.; the other character has deeper, darker issues  that take on a sinister tone.
