Historia
An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

It's 1964 and 10-year-old Felix is sure of a few things: the birds and the bees are puzzling, television is magical, and this is one Christmas he'll never forget. LBJ and Lady Bird are in the White House, Meet the Beatles is on everyone's turntable, and Felix Funicello (distant cousin of the iconic Annette!) is doing his best to navigate fifth grade - easier said than done when scary movies still give you nightmares and you bear a striking resemblance to a certain adorable cartoon boy.

Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Historia
Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Historia
The Turners have lived on Yarrow Street for over 50 years. Their house has seen 13 children grown and gone - and some returned; it has seen the arrival of grandchildren, the fall of Detroit's East Side, and the loss of a father. The house still stands despite abandoned lots, an embattled city, and the inevitable shift outward to the suburbs. But now, as ailing matriarch Viola finds herself forced to leave her home and move in with her eldest son, the family discovers that the house is worth just a 10th of its mortgage.

Hoteliers, pet-bear owners, friends of Freud (the animal trainer and vaudevillian, that is), and playthings of mad fate, they “dream on” in a funny, sad, outrageous, and moving novel.

good but not Lamb's best
Bad: No small amount of distractions and gratuitous plot elements, especially in the latter part of the book. At times I felt like Lamb didn't quite know how to end this thing, so decided to pilot concepts for his next 2 or 3 books. Good: Lamb is an extraordinary writer, his prose direct yet somehow elegant. The narration was superlative. Despite some plot failings, I didn't want this audiobook to end.

Guidall is a genius. Tne book? Not so much.
Guidall does the best he can with this book. It's not the worst book I've listened to, and it does have a number of appealing factors. In the end, though, I'd rate it average or above average, at best.

A life reviewed
I love Walt Lamb’s writings. I listen while doing chores and this “reading” took place during the Uvalde shooting and the overturn of Row v wade. The juxtaposition of this book and the reality of today was unreal. Unexpected and beautiful. Hopefully beautiful- the book had a sad but good ending - will we? I thoroughly appreciated the thoughtfulness of this book. So good!

Maybe too much story
There is a lot of story here. A lot. There is the time of the novel (late 1990s/early 2000s), a little while ago (1950s) and longer while ago (early 1900s) and lots of wayback (mid 1800s). Sure, it does all come together at some point, but I also felt the story wandering in a way that I wasn't sure if it would ever come back and if it did, would I even remember the tidbit of new info we learned in that ancient journal history and how it impacted the current day. There is also quite a bit of emotion in the book, too, and readers will be impacted differently based on their own life experiences.

Excellent and heartbreaking
Like this author's other book, This Much I Know is True, this book is primarily about survivor's guilt and the people living with it. Set to a back drop of survivors of the Columbine shooting, this story traces the long, dark road the characters travel in the wake of that tragedy. The narrator was excellent and the story was compelling and beautifully written. I cried alot in this book.

Great Story, Masterful Narration
Would you listen to The Hour I First Believed again? Why?
The story was really captivating. I loved the author's telescoping victims' -- both from Columbine and other tragedies -- lives far into the future.
When there are catastrophic events, those of us fortunate enough not to be at the center of it tend not to think about the long-term effect of those tragedies on victims' lives. This book centers on the husband of a Columbine victim, a victim himself once removed, but also explores the effect of war, Hurricane Katrina, and sexual abuse among other catastrophes on those who've lived through them.
The story had lots of threads that were just so beautifully knit together that I couldn't stop listening.
What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
George Guidall is absolutely gifted. loved that each character's personality was fully realized through his narration, and while each character had a different voice, the shift in speaker was fluid, subtle, and flawless.

Wait for it... Wait for it...
What did you like best about The Hour I First Believed? What did you like least?
The historical events that are tied to this story's essence and the evolution of our main character really kept me connected to this story but at the same time I despised the main character and almost quit listening because of him. But I had to know what was going to happen next and that was the second best thing about this story, the writer really kept you hanging on and wanting more.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I wanted more of these characters, I almost missed them with the way it ended and I really can't say more without ruining it for those who haven't read this story.
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
He turned it into a true dramatization without turning it corny although he could've done a but better with the women's voices, I was we'll pleased with him.
Did The Hour I First Believed inspire you to do anything?
This story should be a very good reminder of how each moment and each action if your life impact others, it impacts tomorrow and it impacts more than you can ever imagine.

The Hour I First Believed
I have listened to both this book and "I Know This Much Is True" and I'm not sure which I like the most. The writing is so clear and beautiful. The stories are fascinating. Some might complain that the novel contains 3 or 4 separate stories and that each could have been a novella itself. But I enjoyed every minute and did not lose track of what was happening. The narration was so good I kept forgetting that this was not Wally Lamb telling his own story.
