Title: I confess. I like this book.
Review: When sixteen kids are shot on high school grounds, everyone looks for someone to blame. Meet Vernon Little, under arrest at the sheriff's office, a teenager wearing nothing but yesterday's underwear and his prized logo sneakers.Moments after the shooter, his best buddy, turns the gun on himself, Vernon is pinned as an accomplice. Out for revenge are the townspeople, the cable news networks, and Deputy Vain Gurie, a woman whose zeal for the Pritikin diet is eclipsed only by her appetite for barbecued ribs from the Bar-B-Chew Barn. So Vernon does what any red-blooded American teenager would do: he takes of for Mexico.I like this book because the author needs few words to characterize the 'white trash' background and to describe the feelings of Vernon who is about to be accused of murder.If nothing else, this book reads like an engrossing mystery novel. One thing though: the novel doesn't ask much intellectual firepower to read it but is that so bad?
Is the review positive or negative?
