Street of Storytellers

by Doug Wilhelm

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

Okay. Let me be completely honest about this novel. I wasn't sure what I was going to feel with this story. I knew I would at least like it. I mean truly. It's a story based in the 80's(I'm a child of the 80's, by the way.) and Pakistan, two things I don't usually read about. But, once I started it, Wilhelm gripped me! I flew through this thrilling novel and ended up truly enjoying it! Each page turn, each character, brought me closer to an end I didn't want to happen because I really felt a part of it and fell in love with all the characters! 

Luke's story is told in vivid detail. Wilhelm captured the life, and happenings in Pakistan in a way that made me feel as if I was walking beside Luke, experiencing all his emotions and seeing all his  new surroundings as if they were my own. Luke's character reminds me so much of my own teenage sons, who are filled with hormones, confusion, curiosity and wonderment. I felt a connection with Luke, and wanted to protect him through the twists and turns of his Pakistani time! 

Doug Wilhelm is a new to me author and one you will not want to miss. He has a wonderful talent and unique writing style. His attention to detail is spot on and by the end of the book, I was ready for more of his stories! Street Of Storytellers is an emotional  book, one that will have you on the edge of your seat, palms sweating, while you find out what's going on in young Luke's life. If you love young adult stories and love the joy ride of a great thriller novel,then don't miss out on this book. You'll find yourself sucked into the danger and twists of this captivating novel. I can't wait to go back and read more of his other 4 star worthy pieces!
