review 1: I was very impressed with this novel written by Reavis Wortham. The novel is set in Northeast Texas during 1964. At times, The Rock Hole is a suspenseful novel that keeps you on the edge of you seat and at other times has you laughing out loud. I thought he was spot on with his portrayal of small town life in Texas. The daily activities of the characters in the book made me reminisce about my own childhood in rural Texas. This book was everything I expected and more. I anxiously await a second novel by Mr. Wortham.
review 2: The second book in this series was recommended to me, but I like to start at the beginning of things so I picked this one up. I will not be reading the second one..with a new POV every chapter, sometimes in 1st person (as Top) but mostly in... more 3rd, and some characters getting only a chapter or two to call their own, the writing style is disjointed. I also felt like Wortham had to convince me (and himself) too much that Ned's family was color-blind when it came to race relations. The actual mystery was only "eh". less
