I am a Crutcher fan and have found quite a few boys who enjoy reading him, too. I was just thinking, today as a matter of fact, that I should order the book sooner. have you read any of his other books? I'm curious for comparison sake.

He is banned and challenged so often!

I've read several reviews that discussed the more far-fetched aspects of the story, so I think I'll probably end up skipping this one, but teens might find it more enjoyable for sure.

When it's really just about some psycho who though he was king shit. God I hated this book so hard! Hahah. Glad you enjoyed it more than I did though >.<Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521137437031942219.post-52007919740271195672013-03-21T15:09:24.555-05:002013-03-21T15:09:24.555-05:00I have a hit or miss relationship with Crutcher bo...I have a hit or miss relationship with Crutcher books. I think sometimes he tries to do too much all at once. Glad to hear that it is relatable. Wondering if I should look into this one for my reluctant readers.

It does bother me when books are portrayed as realistic and you can't buy into the plot. I think you're right about hs students though, they are probably much more forgiving than adults!Kimberly @ Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649785182080499981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521137437031942219.post-67384208809142703292013-03-21T08:05:27.580-05:002013-03-21T08:05:27.580-05:00great review.

I hate when a book is so over the top its unbelievable- unless its a spy book then it doesn't matter. JennReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278066926315928070noreply@blogger.com
