Review: Fast paced action mingled with a bizarre setting: the recipe for a great young adult series

This book is written in a casual, easygoing way. Patrick Hatt can describe the most thrilling action with coolness and humor. Even the prosaic characters have good lines of dialogue, and what seem to be minor incidents, turn out to be determinant to the plot.  As all good coming-of-age novels, underlying the difficulties and harshness Jeremiah faces there is a learning process. It’s interesting to see how the protagonist grows more confident as he gains experience from his misadventures and life’s vicissitudes.I like how the author keeps the prose clean and rhythmically coherent (I guess that’s due to his keen ear for rhymes), by leaving space for the readers imagination, instead of filling up paragraphs composed of flowery descriptions. I’ll definitely read the other books of this series.If you like the TV show Rick and Morty, you’ll definitely enjoy this book!
