Waking of the Samurai and the sequel need to read in order for them to make sense. Waking of the Samurai has a long setup describing the home conditions of both Gabriel and Thomas intermixed with adventures boys will do growing up. Like lying down in a roadway playing chicken. Their rescuer in this scene was too much. A perfect description of someone of that job description. The scenes of the everglades definitely has convinced me not to visit. I hate snakes and gators. But the action from the glades is necessary to understand how they shape Gabriel's character and later life experiences. An enjoyable read that kept me turning pages into the wee morning hours far longer than I should have.
