  “Not a spell binding book, but it was interesting. Took me awhile to flip from 1962 to 2001 with the characters. Setting is Seattle @ World's Fair in 1962. Central character is man who ran the Fair. Fast forward to 2001 and same man is running for Seattle's mayor position. A newspaper report is investigating Fair, the man and the legality of many occurrences during that time.
  
  There were some surprise twists at the end. I enjoyed it. Didn't love it. But did enjoy.”

  “Truth Like The Sun proved to be an exceptional novel, with concise writing that could close in on being gorgeous, at times. The ending proved to be much too contrived, but even that was offered with fine prose.
  
  Bottom line: The two main characters are both incredibly flawed, yet slightly idealistic humans, and one cannot help but more than like both of them by the end of the book. It's a beautiful accomplishment to bring true, in depth, humanity to such characters. It's absolutely worth reading, whether you live in the northwest or not.”
