This review is from: Last Chance Texaco (Hardcover)
In her first novel, Christine Pountney's coming of age tale about John Wade, a 15 year old boy uprooted from British Columbia to California, falls short in generating enthusiasm about his trials. Pountney seemed a little timid in fleshing out John Wade's personality. The basic mechanisms for the story are there, but the main character lacks an overall charisma. Granted, he is not supposed to be the most intelligent character but he rarely displays any spark to make him appealing.

It reads like a self-conscious journal of a young man afraid and perhaps incapable of fully expressing himself. All this aside, credit must be given to Pountney for giving Wade existence, as bland as his is. His thoughts also seem a little too P.C. and euphemistic for the time frame and his upbringing.

At times, Pountney is most definitely a thoughtful and observant writer, capturing idyllic images of the California coast and snapshots of a cross-country drive through the States. Her next project in the making entails the life of feisty Hanna, the provocative secondary character in "Last Chance Texaco" whose personality should have been fused into Wade's to give this book a chance.
