brad zellar -- till the wheels fall off

★★★★ If you're on the hunt for something introspective, easygoing, and really thoughtfully written, read this book. Till the Wheels Fall Off is a masterclass in prose-- it's highbrow enough to learn something new from but not exhaustingly precocious. The storyline is nothing extraordinary, but it's not supposed to be. It beautifully and artfully tells the story of an exceedingly average man, from an average family, in a nondescript Middle-American town. And yet, I was still captivated after 300 pages. Plus, the regular mention of records and music really grounds the story and adds a layer of interaction and fun for music lovers!
