Baby, You're Gonna Be Mine

After I finished reading and loving Kevin Wilson's latest book Nothing To See Here, I started looking through his previous work and immediately marked this to read next after seeing the first line in its description: “‘Wildfire Johnny' is the story of a man who discovers a magic razor that allows him to travel back in time.”

The way Wilson writes just pulls me right in and I'm not sure why. His characters are fairly archetypical, but he brings them to life with a certain nuance and believability that I just enjoy spending time with them.

I liked all of these stories and I think each of them had something interesting to say, but a lot of them felt a little slight or unfinished by the end. None of them hit me as a great, complete story. But I'm not sure that they were supposed to, they are all thin slices of a theme, and sometimes that's okay.
