Very sweet story.LOVE the 1st person POV. For as long as I can think of I tried to steer clear of 1st person narration. I didn't like it. That changed when there was a book that I totally wanted to read, but which was, unfortunately, at that time, written in 1st person. (In case anyone is wondering: The book I'm refering to isDarkly Dreaming Dexter.)Ever since I started to read all the books that I had avoided until then. And I started to love it. This book is a really good example for this: Using the 1st person POV gives the author the great possibility to animate that character, to give him soul, a voice - might that be whiny or sarcastic or funny or overly dramatic.John Goode created a very witty character with Kyle. I really liked the metaphorical and figurative language and the comparisons. [OK, well, the metaphors with the car were a bit too much after some time, although they were very fitting, but what can I say.. girls and cars, right?.. ;D]
