I just finished Michael Hornburg's book Bongwater, which I picked up at Camelot Books at West 10th Avenue in Vancouver for $7. Set in Portland,the book is an interesting story about a 20 something slacker guy during the early to late 90s. It reads very easily and the opening chapters of the book really drew me in. The story's plot builds chapter after chapter and then the book just ends. No, there isn't a catastrophic event that satisfies the abrupt ending. Instead, the book just ends. Very disappointing. Possibly, Mr. Hornburg had to meet a deadline. 3/5 stars. I may set this book free via bookcrossings. If you don't know what book crossings is, check it out at www.bookcrossings.com. (208pages. Total for the year: 2044 pages)
