Character development makes me happy!
So I'm reading Slippin' Into Darkness by Norman Partridge (who's an old friend of my dad's) and it's kinda cool to recognize things from Vallejo.
-The old drive in near the three cemeteries
-The fiberglass cow on Springs road
-One of the characters wearing an old Hogan High baseball hat
-Mentions of Lake Herman road, American Canyon, the shipyard (Mare Island)
-The Lance & Shield (Hogan High yearbook, of which I have four, lol)
Okay, so it's got likeable characters who really shouldn't be likeable considering some things they've done but I figure if someone can make it seem like you've known them all your life in just one short chapter, it's pretty damn awesome!
Not even near done reading it though, I'll have to add more later :D
ETA: Finished. SO GOOD. Plot-twistingly amazing. Dark. Creepy. Gritty. Revenge has never been so...twisted. Plus, it takes place in my hometown. It's easy to relate to every character, even the evil ones. LOVED IT.
