It’s been awhile since I wrote about a book, but when I was asked to read “Nowhere, AZ,” I liked the concept and readily agreed.  This book was my kind of the book from the beginning.  Sharing different stories from different towns as odd things began to happen around  the main character.

“Always going somewhere.  Never getting anywhere” is how the back of the book describes what’s about to unfold in Nowhere AZ.  Negative energy seems to haunt the narrator as he goes from town to town heading west.  Now a convicted killer on the loose with no one left to rely on and no place to call home, so he heads west.

When confrontation hits, odds things begin to happen around him so he tries to avoid it at all costs, but sometimes it’s just impossible.  And this is how the story begins with a series of events where odd things begin to happen at different travels in his life.

As the story continues, we learn more and more about the narrator.  About his life, and upon the town he landed on as more and more odd things add up.  The narrator is truly telling the story of his life and that’s how the book reads.

As he continues west, as we gain knowledge of his life and what happened, he works harder at erasing his existence, but often times, the past seems to catch up him.  Needless to say, this was a book that kept you hanging on every word.  Not only to figure out more about the narrator, but how others in the book would handle him.

And only leaving the question of where he would end up next.

“Always Moving, Never Getting Anywhere, Nowhere AZ.”
