My first Sean Stewart book was "Mockingbird" and I liked it a lot.
I found "Perfect Circle" to be a little darker and edgier than "Mockingbird", and that's not a bad thing. If anything, I found the writing of "Perfect Circle" to be even better than "Mockingbird". I love flawed characters and this book is full of them. The main character seems unable to stop the events in his life from unfolding even when he has the ability to change. He seems bent on self-destruction and invents ways to hurt himself.
I loved his daughter in the book, 13 going on 30.
One of my favorite things about Sean Stewart is his story-telling on at least two levels. You can take the book for face value and enjoy a well-written book. You can also interpret the story in a second way, not as obvious and have some great discussions.
I also like the way Stewart brings the people of Texas alive. I've lived in the Southwest and I can hear the inflection in the chartacter's voices as I read. Its almost like evesdropping on their conversations.
This book is a little off-beat and very charming. I know there's more of Sean Stewart's books in my future.
