Latest Review: Ghost With Two Hearts by michael r french

Re: Review of Bellamy

Post by Janet Kimetto »

A story about a young boy growing up in a small town in the sixties as an outcast. Calvin has his own way of dealing with the challenges he faces, but then one of his friends is murdered and another friend is accused of the murder, throwing the whole town into chaos. From the review, the story is well-written and highlights some of the issues that still exist in today's society. Congrats on BOTD!

Oh wow this plot sounds intriguing already! Actually, the intrigue began from the book's cover. It was fine and there was some mystery about it. I can imagine what life's like being a third wheel.

The nostalgic setting of the 60s and 70s combined with the coming-of-age narrative is incredibly appealing. The review’s emphasis on Calvin’s complex relationships and personal growth piques my curiosity and makes me eager to read this novel.
