And Dave is not the only one approaching adulthood and its freedoms that summer.

As Dave and Martin set off on their own adventures, their lives, paths, and trails will cross.

Brian Doyle hits the mark again with this gem of a book in which multiple characters, animal and human alike, discover themselves. His deep love and reverence for nature and all things Oregon shines through. Characters are quirky and likable, each with their own philosophical bent. The narrator was excellent in getting the nuances of the story across!

Story
On the last day of summer, a young college grad moves to Chicago and rents a small apartment on the north side of the city, by the lake. This is the story of the five seasons he lives there. A love letter to Chicago, the Great American City, and a wry account of a young man's coming-of-age during the one summer in White Sox history when they had the best outfield in baseball, Chicago is a novel that will plunge you into a city you will never forget and may well wish to visit for the rest of your days.

The narrator was excellent! You could hear the facial expressions in his voice, as well as see the settings like a movie!
Brian Doyle, as usual, does a marvelous job in this semi(?)-autobiographical book. If you’re expecting a typical novel flow, you’ll be disappointed…it’s more like a journal. It was a joys to hear the voice of Mike Royko again, as well!!

Story
Kay Willingham led a life as glamorous as it was public - she was a gorgeous Georgetown socialite, philanthropist, and the ex-wife of the vice president. So why was she parked in a Bentley convertible idling behind a DC private school, in the middle of the night, with the man who was the head of that school? Who shot them both, point blank, and why? The shocking double homicide is blazed across the internet, TV, newspapers - and across Alex Cross's mind. Kay had been his patient once. And maybe more.

Narration was not smooth, with unnatural stops. It was very annoying, and as much as I like Robin Cook books, I doubt I will get any more by this narrator.

Story
As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey.
