Meeting Dennis Wilson: Book One
by Max Harrick Shenk
"...Summer lovin' had me a blaaast!" First love, hanging out with friends, and trying to figure out "the rules" for dating and everything else, this story fits it all in here, in the beginning of a series of books "Meeting Dennis Wilson."
By the way, I know that's not Beach Boys tune, but since the book has its soundtrack it seems only fair that my review of it should also. This whimsical story is filled with great references to 45 records of the 70s era, not all of which are blockbusters - "Put de lime on de coconut...." The story follows four friends as they try to figure out relationships and each other. Margo has a major crush on Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys and has plans (of a sort)to meet up with him. Brian and Christy are hot, though still trying to figure out how heavy. "Go Alll the waay..."
The writing style evokes that innocent time and the naivety of youth, making you care about the characters and what they're going through. Whether Margo will ever get to meet her idol is just one part of the story and it looks like I'll be sitting down with the next book very shortly. And on that note....
"Good, good, good, good vibrations."
