crabbygirl reviewed I'll Take You There by Wally Lamb
Review of "I'll Take You There" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
an absolutely charming tale of a man revisiting his past thru a unique lens: canisters of film where he can enter the scene and feel those emotions as fresh and raw as the first time. and the best part? I had no idea that the narrator - already approachable and appealing - was a 60 year old Felix Funicello of Lamb's earlier work - Wishin' and Hopin' (where he was a grade 5 student prepping for a Christmas concert, among other hilarious excapades) and Lamb nailed his voice - now 50 years later -perfectly. it was like seeing an old friend and catching up.
