Thank you, Blackstone Publishing, for providing me a reading copy. The author DANIEL TURTEL is a cousin of my nephew. I ALWAYS give an honest review of any book I read regardless of the source. It is a book out of my comfort zone. Every so often, I like to cleanse my reading palate. GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK is a Faulkner Society winner for best novel. I could not put it down.
The story takes place on the New Jersey north shore. There are two groups of people populating the book. One group consists of the permanent residents. The other group are the summer and weekend visitors. The author depicts the players as very strong characters. The primary character is Casey Larkin. His half-brother is David Larkin. They also have a half-sister, Gabriella. 1 father,3 mothers. As the story progresses, the reader realizes that one of the characters has drug (pain pills) and drinking problems. Well done
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I do not give this recommendation often. If you are looking for a mainstream, very readable novel, this is your book.
GO! BUY! READ!
