A review by bkish
American Pop by Snowden Wright
5.0
This is one bizarre book and I appreciate the writer with much of what he did to portray a fictional family associated with a soda drink competitive with Cola and Pepsi called Panola Cola with some secret ingredient. the book begins with a timeline of the main people in this Forster family. There are so many delightful twists to this book. As a very constant reader Snowden Wright did some things that are not usual for a novelist.
First he would introduce a character in the family then tell the reader when he or she died and how. Then he would mix in famous people as if they were involved with the people in this family. Call it name dropping - so he names these famous people who came to the funeral of the man who invented the Cola Houghton Forster. All of this pulls in the reader.
This is a book I was almost sorry that it ended. What also I think is unique is the one Forster who survived the last one I would expect and yet it does make sense.
this is an amazing story very very worth reading
