I have to like a book to read it, so I rarely have a bad review to write. If I can't read the book, I can't review it. When I decided to read The Song of the Mockingbird, I did so knowing there was a possibility that I wouldn't like it. The title didn't tell me that I was about to slide down a slope of despair with the protagonist, claw my way back to the surface with him, make startling revelations, sit beside him when he confronts the root of the evil in his life, and heal in a way that would surprise me totally.  I was prepared to dislike him, get angry with him, almost hating him, and then discovered that I was cheering him on, hoping against hope he would make the choices I wanted him to make. I was completely drawn in. Wow, what a ride. Bill Cronin has written a book about a man who longs to be in touch with the deepest, hidden things in his life because they have paralyzed him and the only way he can move forward is by searching for the truth.
