Charles’s book reviews
Hugh Walpole has, unfortunately, dropped off the modern literary radar screen, and that's a shame, because few writers have been able to hang words together so powerfully or evocatively as he.
In fact, he wrote an entire series of stories based on the main character in "The God in the Box," all of them written when John Hanson was an old man and chronicling the adventures of his youth in the Special Patrol Service.
You'll enjoy this one, and others by Wright. He's articulate, has great plots and keeps the story moving.
The best part of the entire book is a chapter near the end called "What My Life Has Taught Me," in which Younger makes some very good observations. Otherwise, this autobiography is deeply disappointing in both detail and substance.
And Quantrell was not a "southern hero," as opined by a former reviewer. Heroes do not massacre 200 men and boys.
