Red Weather By Pauls Toutonghi

Another coming of age story this time it is more about a secod generation American with Parents from Latvia. Yuri is a freshman in millwaukee who really has no apreciation for what his parents went through to give him a piece of the american dream. this guy really bugged me and frustrated at times ut in the way a guy you like screws up and won't stop no matter what you tell him. the message of the story is simple but it had a kind of charm. i dug the fact that it had a real sense of time and place.lets face it Milwaukee in the late 80's is not the most glamorous setting. i could feel the cold reading this book. The book's strength's are definitely in the characters the writing style reminded me of Augustun Burroughes and Jonathen Letham. there was one weird thing there is a kind of love triangle that a lot is made of and kind of came out of nowhere and never really went anywhere if you read this book and know what I am talking about please tell me what is the point of that? I do reccomend this It is the kind of book that this blog is about a little book that needs all the love and attention we can give.
