Review title: John Laurens, not John Lawrence!
Product review: Paul Lussier's main character, John Lawrence, hates his father Henry, longs for true love, and finds solace in a pet turtle named Apollo. In a fit of rage, Henry strangles Apollo and throws her against the wall, shattering her shell. A isconsolate John takes the shell shards and fashions a necklace that he wears for the remainder of his life. You learn these facts in the book's first fifty pages and, believe me, that's as good as it gets.If you're interested in a book on the Revolution that won't waste your time, read Gregory D. Massey's John Laurens and the American Revolution, a wonderful biography of the historical figure on whom John Lawrence is "loosely" based. John Laurens and his father Henry's loving yet conflicted relationship and their efforts to grapple with the dichotomy between a struggle for liberty and their own ownership of slaves forms one of the most moving stories of the Revolution.
