Now Is Not the Time to Panic - The Library of the Uncommons

Alex Cabe reviewed Now Is Not the Time to Panic by Kevin Wilson

More Personal than Wilson's Other Work

4 stars

This was enjoyable, but I didn't like it as much as Nothing to See Here.

Now is Not the Time to Panic was more personal, and also had a great sense of time and place. It captured what it felt like to be a smart, weird kid in a small town in the South.

Wilson has a way of making the main characters feel real and the side characters a little cartoonish (e.g., the three brothers).

I think the audiobook was read by Judy Hopps?

"Okay, let's make some art"

4 stars

Small town teenage summer before the internet, feeling like an outsider in a place that is the same as everywhere else and always a half-beat in the past, making something weird and making something out of nothing, and holding on to that for feeling alive. At half-way I wondered, and the story pulled on ahead where it needed to go.

Engrossing read about the power of art

4 stars

Two young lives shaped by the art they make together one summer that goes out into the world in unexpected and even destructive ways. Two different lives entwined and yet traveling different paths. Both affected by the summer, one never wanting to leave it, the other desperate to get away from it.

Makes me want to read more of Wilson's books.
