Julie at Happy Catholic read the short, parable-like novel by Myles Connolly, one of the first in the Loyola Classics series, and liked it…even as she was puzzled and confused by the central character

(Which is what you’re supposed to feel, I think…and the great strength of the book is that’s the narrator’s stance, too. He doesn’t know what to think of Blue. He’s inspired, he’s worried, he thinks the guy is nuts. It what lifts the book beyond the strong temptation to simple Jesus-walks-among-us insipid faux piety.) Ahem.

Mr. Blue – it’s short. Good summertime reading. Teens and young adults would enjoy it too – maybe a good family/discussion read.
