The Boy in His Winter

An American Novel

By: Norman Lock

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

Launched into existence by Mark Twain in 1835, Huck Finn and Jim have now been transported by Norman Lock through three vital, violent, and transformative centuries of American history. As time unfurls on the river's banks, they witness decisive battles of the Civil War, the betrayal of Reconstruction's promises to the freed slaves, the crushing of the Native American nations, and the electrification of a continent. Huck, who finally comes of age when he's washed up on shore during Hurricane Katrina, narrates the story as an older and wiser man in 2077, revealing our nation's past, present, and future as Mark Twain could never have dreamed it.

The Boy in His Winter is a tour de force work of imagination, beauty, and courage that reenvisions a great American literary classic for our time.

This person has never met Huck Finn, Jim, Tom Sawyer or Mark Twain.

Like I said, this person has me never met Mark Twain or any of his characters. They have been friends of mine since my 10th summer and I resent seeing them abused by someone with delusions of grandeur and a passing acquaintance with H G Wells. I won't go as far as to say this person can't write. I will say he should come up with his own characters, and leave those already known and loved by millions alone.

I tried to return this book, but found that since I paid cash and not audible credits, I couldn't even do that. I am, nonetheless deleting it from my collection.

No Words to Describe Properly

Huck Finn in name only. Twain must be turning in his grave. This book is GARBAGE!!!
