the perfect road trip read
22 July 2001
Format:Hardcover
In his debut novel Matt O'Keefe presents an engaging cast of characters - some likable, others not - but all of them real. The details of life on the road are funny and poignant and perfectly drawn - I read this book while driving across the U.S., and kept hoping to run into Matt O'Keefe's narrator along the way. "You Think You Hear" is a great book that deserves a big audience.

Captivating and funny
24 Feb 2002
Format:Hardcover
I discovered this book at a discount book store in the clearance section, and took a chance. I began reading it the same night, and was unable to put it down. Matt O'Keefe's characters are personable, funny, and the story keeps you on your toes, wondering what will happen next. While reading, you almost feel as though you are on the road with these characters, experiencing everything they are. Take a chance, as I did, and go on the road with these four young people as they come into their own.

O'Keefe's debut charms one and all
29 May 2001
Format:Hardcover
Matt O'Keefe's book is hysterical, but more importantly, it is honest. His characters: Lou, Cree, Tim, Joey and dozens of other colorful people say funny things, they say unfunny things, they say mean things, they say flawed things. They are human. How often do we as readers come across a piece of literature that is as reflective of ourselves and our society as this? It's as if Matt O'Keefe has known me all his life and knows MY friends. Through a vast knowledge of music and the beautiful landscape of America, O'Keefe does not set out to change the world nor does he intend to solve anything that incredibly important in the whole scheme of things. What he does accomplish, though, is an adventure into the minds of America's youths. You do not have to be music literate to love this book. But you have to have once been 18 or 30, or somewhere in between when you didn't know exactly what you were doing or where you were going, but you were loving the ride!
