Title: Not Terribly Compelling
Review: This is my first Thrasher novel and I was far from impressed. The switching back and forth in time did not work for me. I really felt the book was more about people being sloshed and less about remorse for wasted years. Yet, I get the impression the author was trying to focus more on the latter. I was not terribly compelled and in the end, I cared little about the characters and only wanted to know what had happened on spring break. I also noticed a switch in language. For the first 3/4 of the book, the author carefully avoided the Lord's name in vain and by the end, he through in several. It did not make for good character continuity either. Overall a mediocre read with mostly unlikeable characters.
