I am finding these book recommendations/reviews more difficult to write. I simply want to say, “Read the book,” and for you to understand that I really mean it. As soon as I try to put into the words the things that I liked about the story, or the themes that especially stood out, it feels as though I’m trying to tear something away from the fabric that has been beautifully woven. I enjoyed Pete Peterson’s first installment of this two-part adventure, The Fiddler’s Gun. Fiddler’s Green is even better. This story will shock you; make you laugh; and possibly make you cry. It is unmistakably a story about redemption, but fashioned in such a way as to gradually carry the reader along like a vessel upon the sea. Perhaps what stands out to me the most is the character development that Mr. Peterson achieves in this work. Though fictitious, these are real people. These are people that you and I know. People that you and I are. And if what I’ve said doesn’t convince you, my wife loved it, too.
