I read Wally Lamb's book, I'll Take You There; A Novel expecting more than I got. He's a good writer, I will give him that. The character development is great. The details about life in the 1960's was very entertaining. I learned a lot about the Miss Rheingold Beer contest which was an actual contest to promote beer. The part I didn't like was the time travel. Felix Funicello, the main character, is given films of his childhood which he can watch and actually enter if he presses his hands to the screen. That is the part I thought was hokey.
