The author of the story is Arthur Hayman, a screenwriter who writes a series of books which feature his son Luke. These books are collectively known as the Hayseed Chronicles, and if you remove the dustcover of this hardback version, their is an old looking cover depicting this.

poppyshake Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 This is another one of those books that I bought because I loved the cover (why do I always do this!!?). I thought it started magnificently and I really enjoyed it but then it seemed to fizzle out and it felt to me like the author had lost his way and didn't even know himself how to finish it .. I was angry with it because it had so much promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
