Review: Mine

Mine by Robert R. McCammon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's easy to see how Robert McCammon eventually felt called to writing historical fiction. This isn't just a cross-country thriller, it's a treatise about those who'd gotten caught up in the turbulent sixties - those who'd dreamed big and dreamed of freedom, and those caught up in the often violent radicalism of the time - and how they felt left adrift in the consumerism and materialism of the late eighties/early nineties. In anyone else's hands, that would've been lost in the violence of Mary Terror, but as always, Robert McCammon transcends with his keen insight into human nature.
