Loeffle reviewed Hard Land by Benedict Wells
Tschick? Wells writes the better coming of age novel IMHO
5 stars
Wells quickly turning into one of my favourite authors. Combining the topics of death and coming of age; while adding some stuff from his own biography and describing a declining city in Missouri, very atmospheric and detailed. And even if I didn't come out of age in the Eighties, I can identify with the main character in many aspects.
