My Review-

Glenn Rolfe is one of the many, many writers I enjoy reading. The Window, his latest work, had me remembering why I enjoy his writing within the first few chapters. The numerous references to music, TV shows, movies all from a time I remember fondly. Most importantly is the way he develops his characters.

I connected to the rag-tag young group of kids almost immediately. I loved the way Glenn Rolfe captured that time in our lives when life goes to the extremes in a heartbeat. I felt so many emotions reading The Window, many as James had to deal with his new life with his Mother, the life he was leaving behind with his Dad, and all his friends.

Also, the relationships we see between James and Carrie, along with his friends was well done, and authentic. The theme of good vs evil combined with a group of kids fighting to end with this demon was great to watch. While I’m not a fan of demons or evil spirits, Glenn Rolfe had me enjoying the heck out of myself anyway. Well done is all I can say, and I look forward to seeing what Glenn has up his sleeve next!
