Summary
Join Michael Tomlin as he jets through a surreal all night journey into the heart and soul of the American dream. It all takes place in Hamlet Park, his childhood stomping ground. In his vivid imagination, and under the light of a full moon, he meets up with one unforgettable character after another in a rapid-fire and spellbinding series of encounters. You'll meet an ex-slave who never dies, a millionaire computer-gaming wunderkind in search of true love, a preacher who holds his services in the dark, and many more! This is a must read for anyone who's enjoyed Mark Lages's previous books, and it's a great place to start for those who are new to Lages's writing. Hamlet Park is a truly unique experience with many thought-provoking ideas, and, best of all, it has an ending that will surprise you and make you smile.
My Thoughts
I tried, guys. I really tried. I wanted to like this book! When I received the review request I honestly thought it sounded really good. Man, the disappointment.
Here's the thing, the minute I realized that he left his daughter's wedding I started questioning what I was reading. And, I think I was expecting the different characters to be quirky and fun. I didn't find that to be true. Not for me anyways.
I don't know, guys. This one was a struggle. The desire to dnf this one was real for me. I'm thinking that I should have.
I really hate to give a negative review!
*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
