Title: Really good read
Review: More and more it seems so difficult to tell a coming of age story that hasn't been said the same way 1000 times before. While at moments, the "mysteries" in the story seem a bit drawn out, there is so much else worthwhile here. The characters are cookie-cutter types. The story keeps you guessing and interested. And the writing is great. Sure, the central figure seems a tad precocious but it lets him have wonderful lines.
