review 1: The ambiguous natures of the two lost souls in The Never Prayer save them from being clichés. Their names imply what sort of creatures the boys are, but it's never made absolutely clear, and while I don't generally like books with angels or demons in them, I liked this one. The high school setting is also fresh, showing the bleak world of teens growing up in a dying town. Dark and even depressing at times, The Never Prayer introduces a courageous and self-sacrificing female protagonist filled with pain and worry in a story about hope, love, and human frailty countered by the strength of the human spirit.
review 2: YA story set in high school with a teen dealing with massive loss and social high school drama.To be honest, I'm not a big reader of YA, and I never... more liked, and did a fair job of avoiding, high school drama even when I was in school oh so long ago. Despite that, I enjoyed this novel.Mr. Ritchey's prose are poetic and lyrical and beautiful and fulfilling. Never Prayer is also chock full of wisdom and philosophy to live by. Three cheers for starving demons, and for lonely monks writing novels. less
