review 1: I really liked this book a lot and loved the complicated, troubled characters. I love books that makes me want to laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time). I read this book shortly after having read Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell and found similarities in the seriousness about bullying and family problems and similarities in the characters' wry sense of humour. The harsh lives of the characters is alleviated by their feisty attitudes and you're left with the feeling that they have hope. Otherwise these stories would be too heartbreaking.
review 2: Wow! Made me uncomfortable watching Wayne Pumphrey's life. Wayne is the victim of relentless bullying and yet finds escape in writing heartfelt letters that he has no intention of sending. I found the lett... moreers honest and refreshing and not without humor. Wayne finds an unlikely friend in Marjorie and this friendship makes life tolerable for them both. I love the courage that both Wayne and Marjorie show when facing the bullies. I hope that Creeps will create more awareness and empathy to stop bullying. less
