Episode 40: Boys of Blur, Part 1

Summary: If you love The Bookening, we really do need your help. Please click here to support The Bookening for a very low monthly amount and help us continue making the podcast. Thank you! In episode 40, our heroes talk about N.D. Wilson's young adult horror/fantasy/action novel Boys of Blur. For such a slim volume, this book packs a lot in, and our heroes find themselves with plenty to discuss, including small towns, football rivalries, race relations, C.S. Lewis-wannabees, useless clichés, useful tropes, extravagant character names that are good, and one character name that they weren't such a huge fan of.  By the way, here's some footage from the event that Jake mentions involving Nate's dad Doug.
