I loved Hunter S. Jones’ story September Ends, it was so different from anything else I’ve read so I was definitely waiting on pins and needles for the follow up. I was a tad disappointed that the story didn’t pick up right where the last one ended but then I understood the magic behind the authors logic. Set ten years into the future Liz is now in her late 40s, still suffering from depression and unfortunately still neglecting Zelda who is now a bitter, vindictive brat. I was happy to see that Pete Hendrix appears just when you least expect him. There are still poems in September Again but they are used in a different way than in September Ends."All I ever really want to be is Mrs. Jack O. Savage." Liz leads a life that takes her full circle. Zelda finally grows up but you’ll have to read it to find out how it ends.As a Southerner I am proud to say that Hunter S. Jones has created another book that captures the beautiful landscapes, our religious beliefs, and our superstitions perfectly. The fact that she takes risks makes her one of my favorite authors.
