Yesterday, I started a book called Now is the Hour by Tom Spanbauer. I am currently on page 23 of 459 however, there is already a lot to say about this book. For this post, I would like to focus in on the setting of the novel. The year this tale takes place in is 1967. The seventeen year old Rigby John Klusener is finally getting away from his deeply religious farm family in Pocatello, Idaho, and is headed for the dream spot named San Fransisco. From what I understand, the deep morals of the Klusener family and the still life style that is a farm family in the 1960s is enough to drive Rigby insane. He seems to be one that can't hold still. I love the writing style of this book and I am really intrigued to find out what is going to happen.
