WHEELING WUNDERLAND is like a sack of hot buttered popcorn. You enjoy every kernel, and when you've finished, you want more. This book, by Marvin O. "Syke" Horcher, is a simmering cauldron of political hanky-panky, containing fascinating inside views of official police work, a sympathetic picture of a wet community surrounded by dry suburbs and the problems that are bound to develop on the roads and in the bars and restaurants, not to mention problems regarding the town's politics. There is also a love story between the author and the world. "Syke" is a born story-teller. If you once pick up this book, you will find you can't put it down until you read it all. The book wanders all over the map, like visiting with an old friend. You'll experience farm life, WWII as a foot soldier, work in a flower shop when you're color-blind, and experience a one-man police force. As Wheeling grows, everything also develops. Politics, crime, friendships and dependency on the community. It is also a story of a young whipper-snapper farm boy who doesn't know he can't succeed without formal education in this world. He tells it like it is, with great humor, compassion and intellect WHEELING WUNDERLAND is a WINNER I |
