A review by bbrassfield
Summer of Night by Dan Simmons

5.0

In deciding to re-read this I was delighted to find a brand-spanking-new introduction by the author wherein he talks at length about how wonderful summers could be for kids in 1960, specifically in terms of how much slow time they had and the glorious ways they could spend it roaming around their towns. Sadly, the author laments, this is not so true in our present day. Slow time sure is important to overall balance in life and I remember my own slow time in the 1970's as a youngling with a bike and several good friends. Bikes were essential. I'll update this after I finish the re-read.
