Weule, captures us with the opening lines. It starts out as a scene in which a tough guy subdues a punk harrassing a waitress, and almost lost me. I've read that scene a million times. The surprise and what kept me reading came next.He kept me with the what followed- a quirky John Locke-ish sort of tale with larger than life characters, but who are portrayed in a way that augments the storyline.The hero is an ulikely one; a mailman, part time bartender. This was honestly where the story got a bit far-fethched as its difficult to buy a mailman coping with the things that follow the initial scence. No spoilers here.Writing is first rate.Pacing- outstandingNarrative- first rateDialogue, crackling. Will remind you of Locke.characterization- as good as it gets. They pop to life immediately.Bottomline- this is the best story I've read in a while. Will sample more of Weule's work.
