Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “Journey to the Prize” by Karl Peterson. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
Karl Peterson, likely in his late sixties, hails from Monmouth County, New Jersey. An avid hiker, stamp collector, and traveler, he presently resides in Wanamassa. His recent novel is a dedication to a cherished friend who passed away and honors the memory of martyrs.
Manny Guzman, a young man who lives on a ranch raising horses and being a rider, is a great friend of Alex, who has a cousin, Alois Dorman, a research scientist in Germany. Set in 1933, Manny and his friend are set to go to Germany to help Alex’s cousin, who’s in a bind. A year when Nazis are up to no good forced Alois to work on a project, which may result in disastrous repercussions. He needed their help desperately so he could get a copy of the project into the right hands. Will Alois succeed?
The book was reviewed by the US Review of Books (USRB), which was praised by Philip Zozzaro after it was evaluated. He emphasizes, “The story never loses focus as it proceeds to a more than satisfying conclusion. This is a book that will appeal to those who enjoy the story of an underdog.”
