Wally Lamb

I'm halfway through Lamb's "The Hour I First Believed" and I'm torn: I wish it would never end and I can't put it down so, damn it, it's ending. Well, it's also a library book so I have a deadline, so to speak.

This guy is a WRITER! Best book I've read in years. He weaves the story of a relationship around the Columbine school shooting. His descriptions and character development are absolutely riveting. At over 700 pages, it's daunting until you read that first paragraph. Then all you can do is hold on and keep turning those pages.
