review 1: You dont know about know me is a realistic fiction by an author name Brian Meehl. The realistic book is about a boy named Billy Allbright and a traveling life with his mom around America. Billy mom is a religious person and think they are the reason for their travling life. But then Bill mom was keeping a scret from him about his dad. So he then goes to bible camp and gets in a treasure hunt in geocaching and meet certain people.Things that I liked about the book is that you maybe surprised of what certain characters would do. In the story Bill Allbright becomes a dynamic character. In the beginning of the story his use god a lot and obey what his mom says.In the middle he wants to do different things. Things that I disliked about the book is that in the beginning of the b... moreook its easy to read towards the end its a little confusing.I think the book is a good book. I would recommend this book to teenagers who family or gaurdians that are religious but is different from them. Also to teenagers who dont get to choose their own path and have to take what life gives him.
review 2: At the beginning, I had no idea where this book was going. About halfway through, I still had no idea where this book was going, but I was enjoying the ride. When they got to Burning Man, I really had no idea where this book was going, but it was entertaining. There's a LOT of stuff going on in this book. If you liked Huck Finn, you'll love all the references to it since this is essentially a retelling of the story. If you don't mind a little God-musing and some gay explanations that may or may not sit well with you, read this book. It's kind of like Libba Bray's Going Bovine with Jesus, Huck Finn, the desert, unmovie-makers with anti-action stars and a closeted gay professional baseball player, but no mad cow disease or talking gnomes. The only thing that kind of bothered me was the odd slang: "fred", "gorped", "z-bag"... I could figure out what they meant but still, I've never heard of any of those. There's a lot of Bible discussion, but in a really interesting way and not anything like I've ever heard the Bible discussed before. I really really liked Ruah's interpretation of God changing His mind when it came to destroying the Ninevites. That really made some things clear to me. less

A warmly funny and thought provoking road trip novel, styled after Twain's Huck Finn.
