Review

"Wally Lamb is a remarkable talent." (Columbus Dispatch )

Product Description

When high school teacher Caelum Quirk and his wife, Maureen, a school nurse, move to Littleton, Colorado, they both get jobs at Columbine High School. In April 1999, while Caelum is away, Maureen finds herself in the library at Columbine, cowering in a cabinet and expecting to be killed. Miraculously, she survives, but at a cost: she is unable to recover from the trauma. When Caelum and Maureen flee to an illusion of safety on the Quirk family's Connecticut farm, they discover that the effects of chaos are not easily put right, and further tragedy ensues.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Gifted Writer, Nov. 29 2008
Par MacFly (Regina, Saskatchewan) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Hour I First Believed: A Novel (Hardcover)
The new book by Wally Lamb, The Hour I First Believed, is a tremendous book. It starts first with its size - over 700 pages - and then with the depth of the story found between its covers. It begins with a husband and wife who have "survived" the shootings at Columbine. But the story then proceeds to be more much that just their reaction to the terrible day in 1999. The depth and detail taken with all the characters is a testament to the writing ability of Lamb. The story spans generations and the reader becomes genuinely invested in so many of them. This was a hard book to put down. I have loved every Wally Lamb that I have read - this is the third - and I hope he has many more to write in the future.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Captivating Third Novel, Avril 17 2009
Par Donald Reid (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Hour I First Believed: A Novel (Hardcover)
Having read Wally Lamb's first two books, I was originally disappointed to learn that his new novel was centred around the Columbine shootings. As a teacher I had no interest in re-visiting that horrible event nor did I want to see dredged up in print stories that the families of the victim's would much prefer to be laid to rest. However, being the consummate story teller that Lamb is I was not disappointed. He tells a compelling tale of a survivor of the shooting through the eyes of her husband, and outlines the difficulties of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder not only on the victim but of the victim's family. Even more so, Lamb chronicles PTSD as it affected victim's and their families through generations of American history. "The Hour I First Believed" uses both triumph and tragedy and humour and pain to weave its tale. Lamb has the amazing capacity to become the voice of his character. Much like "She's Come Undone" which I swore must have been written by a woman; he makes his characters so believable that you feel their pain and applaud their milestones. "The Hour I First Believed" is another storytelling milestone for Wally Lamb.

1.0étoiles sur 5 not impressed, Janv. 10 2009
This review is from: The Hour I First Believed: A Novel (Hardcover)
I just could not get into this book. I did not like any of the characters and that may be the reason. I read his previous book "I know this much is true" and I really liked it. I know it is getting great reviews but we all have different tastes....hope his next one is better.
