Title: Very moving and dead on...
Product review: The book, although I was quite shaken by the "twist" ending, was still quite right. The feelings of our precocious narrator are very true to life. It does capture high school well. This one shines at times because of it's format and honesty. It will leave you feeling both happy and sad at the same time, which Charlie talks about at one point.I was reminded of two other novels, of the coming of age genre, which fans of this book might like. There is 10th Grade which was released last year and is lighter hearted than this. However, it does a fine job of capturing the lonely days of school...and on a more esoteric note, "Everything Looks Impressive" by Hugh Kennedy...which takes place with a freshman in college and a senior he befriends...All worth the read.
