Abstract:
In this action-filled character study, Sasquatch is not the mythical creature rumored to haunt the forests of North America. He is a young Texan named Clint Buchanan (“Buck Hannon”) who prowls the streets of the DFW Metroplex in the late 1970s. Clint seems to have it all—size, strength, intellect, personality, good looks, and any woman he wants. Unfortunately a combination of bad choices and bad luck leads to tragic results. Join this behemoth as he faces the life-changing and character-defining events of his late adolescence with a colorful supporting cast that includes devoted buddies Milton, Tom, and Hulk.

This book was my first foray into the world of self-published novels, so I wasn't expecting much, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Both the physical quality of the book and, more importantly, its content were top-notch. Like Clint, the story’s protagonist, I like a good character study, and this one definitely qualifies as good. None of the characters is straight-forward, and Clint is especially complicated. He’s clearly not perfect, and yet one can’t help but like him. The other characters are appealing as well, and the action is believable throughout. The story is a real page-turner, and I read it in only two sittings. I just didn’t want to put it down. Even now that I’m finished, I just keep going back to read different segments. There are so many good parts of the story and so many layers to the characters. It’s hard to take it all in the first time. The chapter titled “Absolution” is particularly good, but one should be prepared with plenty of tissues. It WILL make you cry! I’ve read it five or six times already, and it still gets me every time. All in all, I think the author acquitted himself very well in his first effort, and I can’t wait to read his next book, hopefully a sequel. As noted in an earlier review, I think this novel would make an excellent movie. Let’s all hope so!

First, I would like to congratulate my uncle on his very first novel and say that I look forward to the second one. Secondly, and without bias, I can say that this is absolutely the best book that I have ever laid my hands on, just filled with such emotion, and so real. I loved Absolution, as someone mentioned before. The ending was such a shocker as well. I would reccomend this to anyone who would watch a rated R movie (which is most of us). It was strange in some aspects to read this book, noticing lots of things about Clint (the good things) that are so similar, if not the same, to my uncle and my dad's side of the family. Great job, Uncle Will, see you soon!!! Love you♥♥♥
