Guthrie LaRue, a so-called renowned terrorist from the 1960s, is mired in the past and can't find her way into the twenty-first century. Now a local laughingstock, she is certain that the only way for her to relive her days of infamy is to blow up a huge shopping mall that she believes is threatening to destroy the small rural community of Shakespeare, Indiana.
This has a wacky bunch of characters who are not technically the most lovable bunch. I thoroughly enjoyed it - devoured it this morning. It is a quick read, partially because I was eager to see how all was resolved. I was on the periphery of the late 60s (I was in 5th grade in 1968), so it was fun to get into the head (even fictionally, and crazy) of a committed-to-a-cause activist. Thanks Rick, looking forward to more of your books!
