Loved this so much and couldn‘t stop reading it or thinking about it afterwards. It‘s not a whodunnit more an exploration of the impact and the thinking from the family when someone commits a terrible crime. Really interesting and well written.

You can‘t make a good person do bad things. You can‘t change who they are fundamentally in the time it takes to eat a sandwich. That‘s science fiction. The only thing that can change who we are is life ⚡️

I really thought I was going to be over the top for this story,but I wasn‘t.I couldn‘t really wrap my head around the different connections to why or if the son assassinated a senator,It was wordy to the point of skimming. I did feel the emotions of the father, and the rollercoaster ride he lived,but all in all it just was ok🤷🏼‍♀️

Sigh.

hgrimes I don‘t know what that‘s even meant to mean....(I don‘t think I care to know either) 6y
Libby1 @hgrimes - thankfully it‘s not the author peppering the book with these things. Instead it‘s more clear that it‘s the character‘s own views and limitations. 6y
Captivatedbybooks Well i always said if i was 65 lbs lighter id be in alot of trouble 😂😂😂😂 6y

hgrimes @Libby1 That‘s good to know! It‘s kind of sad-funny in that context. 6y
hgrimes @Captivatedbybooks 😂😂😂 6y
BiblioTori That‘s an interesting way to put it. I mean, I used to get myself in trouble for snacking straight out of the fridge by the fridge light. If that counts for anything. 😂 6y

My father was a feeling, a sense of security transferred from his body to mine when I put my arms around his neck. The details of his life were irrelevant. He was an extension of my body as I was of his.

I‘ve been incommunicado for a week or so as the school year has ended and I‘ve prepared for a holiday.

I think I‘ve finally selected my pool side reads! Any thoughts?

Lcsmcat Olive Kitteridge is excellent! 6y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This. Book. Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. This is the story of a father whose oldest son assassinates a presidential candidate and the father‘s quest to find out why. I am always awed by authors who do a ton of research for their books and use it to fill in all the details of their narrative. Hawley does a great job at this. Definitely the best book I have read so far this year and I can see it making my best of list at the end of 2018.

Kaye Sounds good ! 7y
