Book Review #64: "The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley"

Professional Reader  Reviews Published 50 Book Reviews


Hey Everyone,

     I am going to review the book "The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley," by Hannah Tinti. This book is hot off the press as it was published on March 28, 2017 by Random House Publishing Group. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE.  Hannah Tinti is a well established author who is the co founder of "One Story Magazine," and has previously written the books "Animal Crackers," and "The Good Thief." This book is about mainly a father and a daughter and their intricate relationship. Samuel Hawley is your typical bad boy who has lived a dangerous lifestyle and is now responsible for raising his daughter Loo. Samuel Hawley is trying to start anew in raising his daughter and in not letting his past catch up with him, and in making sure his daughter Loo is raised properly and does not get into the trouble he did.
     Overall I rated this book five stars out of five. This was an excellent book that I cannot speak more highly about. The character development was superb and in depth. This was definitely one heart breaker of a book, but it was inspiring and bittersweet at the same time. Reading about the relationship between Samuel Hawley and his daughter Loo was tearing me up it was so raw. This book pulled me in from the first page all the way to the end. 
     I would like to thank Netgalley, Hannah Tinti, and Random House Publishing Group for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Until the next page,

Jill
