Review title: The liberal stance doesn't annoy me; the poor writing does
Product review: Probably the reason kids read this book in so many schools is they want to get these tough issues out on the table for discussion. That's great, but when an author is relying on controversy to sell his books, it starts to turn sour. The writing is nothing memorable, the flash-backs are confusing, and Eric is EXACTLY the same as all Crutcher's other heroes. Egotistical, athletically gifted and otherwise made of cardboard. Sarah is a slightly more interesting person, but Crutcher tries to make her an enigma by making her do out of character, confusing, motive-less things. All in all, if you want a WELL WRITTEN book that deals with the same issues, read A CATCHER IN THE RYE.
