Loeffle reviewed Hard Land by Benedict Wells
Tschick? Wells writes the better coming of age novel IMHO
5.0 stars
Wells quickly turning into one of my favourite authors. Combining the topics of death and coming of age; while adding some stuff from his own biography and describing a declining city in Missouri, very atmospheric and detailed. And even if I didn't come out of age in the Eighties, I can identify with the main character in many aspects.
