Review: Confused...
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 08 9, 2013
I was initially confused, as I gathered the main character was female from the thought patterns...then found out the main character was male. The first interaction with the uncle also left me confused, particularly when he barely escapes with his life, then goes to his buddy's house to go hang out in the creek. HUH? I was also disturbed by the weird interaction between him and his friend...hugging in front of parents, then shaking hands, and using really old fashioned lingo. I thought perhaps the book was written by a woman who had no idea how an adolescent boy would think or act.  Then I looked at the author's name and was confused again...Brian? I didn't even make it through a chapter before giving up.  I may pick it up again when I have nothing else to read, but this book has a lot of issues for me.  I try to give positive reviews, even when I don't particularly like a book...but this one was leaving me way too baffled from the beginning.
