graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Black Rabbit Hall in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I liked the book, but I didn't love it. Told in alternating voices and time-lines, first-person for Amber in the late 60's and third-person for Lorna circa 2000. Amber's voice definitely had the edge as Lorna's felt more distant, probably due to being in third-person, so her story didn't have much of a punch for me. Also, her connection to Black Rabbit Hall felt too pat, too obvious, and not surprising in the least. One thing, as silly as it might seem, that bothered me was the casual mention of texts and wi-fi. Easy to overlook in this day and age, but they just weren't common in the late nineties/early aughts. Otherwise, it was an easy, if predictable read.

There are multiple POVs, and Carmack handles them very well in third person omniscient. I was never turned around or confused about whose perspective I was in, and there was never an ‘okay, can we get back to the other storyline??’ moment.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Summer of '69 in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of Summer of 69 from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book is terrifying. The draft sword hanging over Lucas' head is ever-present throughout the whole book.
His attempts to find joy before he's drafted are so well-written.
I will admit that the switch from first erson to third person threw me a bit but I really enjoyed this book.
