In Country Bobbie Ann Mason

In Country was a book of many characteristics. With twisting plot, the book takes many flashbacks throughout. The author tries to convey her point through an eighteen-year-old girl who is in search of her father's identity who in turn is in search of her own as well. She leads us on what seems like a forever journey. Being a fan of horror novels, especially Stephen King, this book was not a favorite of mine. However, this book is not to be taken lightly. It has very mature parts in it that young minds shouldn't have to experience. With many themes entwined, it definitely makes for an "okay" reading for college freshmen students.
