Negative Positive
Title: beautiful
Review: Whoever said it was like "Rule of the Bone" and "Catcher in the Rye" hit it right on the head...this book will grab you by the shirt and haul you through all sorts of unlikely situations. Barry's writing survives even detailed analysis, tough and flexible and capturing perfectly the feelings of despair, exhilaration, and hope for each of the characters. I read this book when I was sixteen; Barry has an innate understanding of the way things can accelerate and snowball in teenagers' lives. I remember it every time a train blows through the station going full out. It is the kind of book that will dig its way into your mind.
