Garth Stein is going to write major works, he has that rare ability to write in many voices. I am expecting great things from this young man. Pick up Raven Stole The Moon (if you can find a copy) and compare it with How Evan Broke His Head & Other Secrets. The pacing, the voice, everything is different. Garth will not be writing the same book over and over again, the characters in one book will not sound just like the characters in the next. Garth will be bringing us fresh viewpoints, different voices, and original stories in his books. His prose is so powerful, it puts your right in the scene. When he writes about looking across Lake Union in Seattle, I can see the cars clogged on I5 with the lake shimmering below. When he describes a man walking his dog on a warm rainy night, I can smell the wet earth and feel the raindrops. How Evan Broke His Head & Other Secrets is a powerful book about a young man finally growing up and owning his life. It is about the choices we make, the consequences of those choices and being able to re-write your life script. Sunriver Books & Music's readers made this book our best seller of 2006 by a HUGE margin.
