Chasing Fireflies
By: Charles Martin
FIVE out of FIVE stars
my thoughts:
SPECTACULAR! Absolutely read this book! This is the first Charles Martin book that i've read and it will not be the last.
I'm not even sure where to begin with this one.
Characters, you absolutely fall in love with each of the characters in this book. They are each on their own journey and you can't help but root for them all. Well... maybe not one of them but you unite with the other characters to not like him too.
The back and forth of here and now and the past is so well done. Sometimes you get that book where you can't hardly follow because they bounce back and forth on the years. Martin is able to take you back and forth with a such ease. It's very natural to the book.
Finding the truth is really what Chase is about and boy does he find it.
the run down:
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...from the author of The Dead Don't Dance and When Crickets Cry.
