review 1: Chris Lynch gets right to the ideals that get left out of too many teen books: honor, responsibility, loyalty, all the things that aspiring young men so often need to explore. Alexander is different, and that is fine with him. After all, “normal” is mean, brutal, heartless, and cruel. But when he finally sees a chance to stop fuming and actually do something to change the world, does he know any way to do it other than becoming the things he despises?
review 2: Two brothers living in the inner city with their mother struggle to find purpose and meaningful relationships in their lives. Told by Robert, the older brother who has a girlfriend and a part-time job and attends community college as he seeks to understand Alexander, his sensitive misfit unemployed ... moreyounger brother whom he both loves and picks on. Robert's voice is strong and engaging. The novel swiftly appears to be a study of the forces that draw angry young men to become terrorists. But, then, it twists to reveal the forces that prevent angry young men from becoming terrorists. Ultimately, it is the story about brothers, young men, forging a new relationship between themselves as they try to find a place for themselves in the world. A gritty yet touching relationship novel for guys. less
