The Big Thicket and Beyond
During my first drive across the southwest, I recognized the washes, thickets and open spaces Stark so vividly portrayed in his novel and enjoyed the sense that I had been there before. Years had passed since reading Chasing Uncle Charlie, but it all came flooding back: Bo's thirst for adventure, the quirky but powerfully real characters that guide and misguide his journey. This definately ranks among my favorites.

Incredible book!
I may be a bit biased, being a friend and student of the author, but here goes... This book is incredible. The characters are unforgettable, the plot compelling, and the writing spellbinding. I couldn't put it down, and that's saying an awful lot considering my attention span. It's not exactly light reading, though. It has its humorous moments, but for the most part, it's very deep. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in the American Southwest or American lit; fans of Mark Twain or John Steinbeck would certainly enjoy this book.
