Priscilla and her Books

For Whom the Book Tells took me by surprise. The book first talks about Lorraine “Ma” Camphor and her two kids, Laura and Tim. The father, Wilhelm Camphor, who died during the Korean War is briefly mentioned. It then shifts to Tim buddies: Joe Cebellum, Fred Etheridge, Tommy Wanderby and Sam Thorn.The next four parts talk about the four lead characters’ parents. Their marriage and family lives are thought-provoking. There are a lot of sex scenes so this book might not be suitable for the younger audience.I noticed there are a lot of pop culture references in the book, which I appreciate. Overall, I find For Whom the Book Tells gripping and realistic, though, the plot is a bit slow paced for my taste. Still, I look forward to more of the author’s literary output.Memorable quote from For Whom The Book Tells:If she were a book, it was not a page turner.

I received a copy of For Whom the Book Tells in exchange of my honest review.
