Title: A Little Off
Review: Crispin is a good story about a boy who for most of his life is a poor nobody but discovers his real identity and gains a wider spectrum of life by meeting a man named Bear who teaches him some useful skills. I read this in about a week in my spare time and it was a good read overall. My criticism comes in because it is 1377 AD in England and Crispin is illiterate and yet in first person is able to craft a wonderful detailed first person account of his experience which makes it less believable. I believe the author could have done so much more if he wrote in third person and crafted Crispin's dialogue like that of an ignorant slave boy who probably only spoke in short choppy, fragmented sentences. Then at the end, it's like...that's it? That's what I waited 275 pages for? Did not like the ending very much at all. He could have spent another twenty pages there and cut out twenty pages somewhere else.
