It started with a body, the head of it pretty much gone, the hands skinned. We found it the Saturday after Thanksgiving, out to Hungry Neck Hunt Club. Uncle Leland owns the Hunt Club, which might make him sound important, or rich. But he's not.
/>
Huger Dillard is no ordinary fifteen-year-old from the Lowcountry of South Carolina. He may not have a father to help him grow up, but day-to-day guiding of his blind Uncle Leland--Unc, for short--and weekends spent at the Hunt Club have made him an expert on the habits of deer, the pompous attorneys and doctors of nearby Charleston, and the ways of the world. But with Unc's discovery of a mutilated body, Huger suddenly learns that he is expert at nothing--least of all his own life. Everything he knows and everyone he loves--Unc, his mother, his foundering teenage romance--is at risk, and Huger must use every ounce of resourcefulness and bravery to stay alive and protect what he believes in. Yet, when he finally discovers precisely what happened that Saturday morning, there is still one more secret to uncover, this one too dark, too deep, for him to even imagine.

From Bret Lott, the critically acclaimed author the Los Angeles Times called "one of the most im-portant and imaginative writers in America today," The Hunt Club is a novel of deft pacing and remark-able detail, and a sultry evocation of a land and culture that has existed for generations but soon may be lost forever.

My bookshop snuck this Advanced Reading Copy to me because it's set in the town where my folks live - Charleston, S.C. There is a murder but this is much more a coming of age kind of story than a mystery. The story is very true to its Southern roots and the Charleston references were really interesting to me. ( )

Starts out strong, another good book by Lott. I figured the ex-cop was going to be one of those tough-as-nails, can solve anything. Nice to be wrong. The narrator, Huger, is a 15 yr old who grows up quickly after discovering a dead body and gets involved in local intrigue about his family's land by greedy men.
By the end, I was feeling that the parents should be a bit stronger, not fall apart as much as they did, especially in comparison to the teen who saved the day. Simons frequent use of "trailer-trash" label got old fast.
I do have a couple of questions: Huger spent $9 to fill up his truck's tank (p. 81), yet the internet is important in the story, so the setting isn't that long ago. How would a deaf person have learned to walk quietly in the woods (p. 84)? ( )

The ending was a bit of a blur and a little unclear, but that's because it was so fast paced, and I didn't really care becasue I was turning the pages very fast to get there... a well-written, engaging book it was. I read it as a challenged book for Banned Book Week, and am very glad I did. Frankly, the challenge that was written up in the Post and Courier picqued my curiosity as to what all the fuss was about. Yes, there's language and violence, but it really wasn't written for children, although the protagonist is a child. I think those are just part and parcel of the book, as an artform, reflecting life as it really is.

I was disappointed with this story. Set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, this book focuses on a 15-year-old who becomes involved in a murder investigation that turns out to be more than meets the eye. He soon learns that the murder that has occurred on his uncle's land is connected to the efforts of prominent members of Charleston society to blackmail his blind uncle into selling his hunting land to them. For me, the story moved slowly until the last few chapters. Then the author threw in some twists, ones that I did not see coming. I did enjoy the addition of local folk lore and would have liked to see more. Due to strong language, this is definitely a book for adults and mature YAs. ( )
