review 1: Any book that makes me laugh and cry gets all stars. I had a hard time, at first, adjusting to the strong voice in this book. But eventually I fell in love with Lamar's 13-year-old character. He has an older brother who bullies him, he has a dad who doesn't understand him, his mother is already dead, he's got wheezy lungs that won't let him play any sport other than bowling, and he pulls dozens of immature pranks. As soon as I got over Lamar's bravado and comic-book style word choice, the story caught hold of me and I couldn't quit reading. The descriptions of bowling and the bowling scene are priceless. You just want Lamar to succeed, even though the odds are stacked against him and he makes terrible choices.
review 2: Crystal Allen, what a great new up and co... moreming writing!! The story of Lamar would be a great book for teen boys.
