I try not to compare him too often to his father because I'm sure he gets that a lot. He's definitely an author who doesn't need to stand on his father's coattails to go far. He's very talented in his own right.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-10483247903482401132016-09-19T07:10:33.939-07:002016-09-19T07:10:33.939-07:00Rita - I really enjoyed it.

I hope you will too when you get to it. <br /><br />I thought The Heart-Shaped Box was darker than The Fireman, if that helps. I understand though.
