"A trucker sets out to protect an abandoned child in the Utah desert...Winter has come to Route 117, a remote road through the high desert of Utah trafficked only by eccentrics, fugitives, and those looking to escape the world. Local truck driver Ben Jones, still in mourning over a heartbreaking loss, is just trying to get through another season of treacherous roads and sudden snowfall without an accident. But then he finds a mute Hispanic child who has been abandoned at a seedy truck stop along his route, far from civilization and bearing a note that simply reads "Please Ben. Watch my son. His name is Juan" And then at the bottom, a few more hastily scribbled words. "Bad Trouble. Tell no one.". Despite deep misgivings, and without any hint of who this child is or the grave danger he's facing, Ben takes the child with him in his truck and sets out into an environment that is as dangerous as it is beautiful and silent. From that moment forward, nothing will ever be the same. Not for Ben. Not for the child. And not for anyone along the seemingly empty stretch of road known as Route 117"--… (plus d'informations)

This might be a case of a book that I read to soon after the first one. I loved the first one but his book felt repetitive and I was not engaged with the story. Closer to a 2 1/2 stars for me. I was really disappointed. The first one was one of my favorite books of the last few years. ( )

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this wonderfully written novel by James Anderson. "Lullaby Road" really captures that feeling of long road trips through middle of nowhere America. The eccentricities of small town life are there n spades. Each character is revealed through their relationship with Ben, our protagonist and truck driver who knows the lonely stretches of desert far too well. He is handed over a few mysteries and other hurdles to deal with, and also Ben seems to be a character who becaude of his background, likes to insert himself into situations out of a need to belong somewhere.

This book was very slow paced, but beautifully rendered. The imagery was absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks to Goodreads for this win.

I loved the Never-Open Desert Diner which I also won from GR. I was so happy that I won it because it was a sequel.

It got lost on my shelf since January 2018 when I won it. I finally decided read it and it was like a long and winding road and only got to page 10 or so. I skimmed through it and it was just him and 2 kids one of his neighbors and one he found at a gas station when he was fueling up his truck on his daily delivery. It looked like it was one boring trip and decided not to try to even finish it. It was such a disappointment after giving 4 stars to his first one. ( )
