I thought I would try something by this author and a short story seemed a good way to try out his style. This tale of teenagers in America is set in a more dismal and nasty world than the one I know. There didn't seem to be a single character I could warm to. There was some good writing in places but here and there a strange choice of word made me think the author meant something different. It kept me reading but wouldn't ever be a favourite. Perhaps I need one of his full length books?
