review 1: AN interesting story of town that is definitely not about the pies, but a typical small town with prejudice and fear of strangers, brought together by a small boy with disabilities. It is a story of angels, a not so saintly priest and a young girl in trouble. I enjoyed the premise, but felt the story was more graphic than needed, especially one of this genre. If this were a movie I would rate it PG-13 for language, sexual content and adult themes.
review 2: 1.5I am religious, so I should have connected to this book more, right? Well, apart from some nice emphasis on a character-driven story, it failed to grip me. I liked how we learned that Father George and Trina were sort of "unreliable narrators" when we find out something they refuse to bring up. Other t... morehan that, I couldn't care less about Alex, who was supposed to be so adored by Pie Town, that his impending death never left me feeling anything thing but, "meh." Really, had this book tried to cover more about Alex, why he is so loved by his ENTIRE FREAKING TOWN,-all we know is that he is kind and young and has a disease, and trust me I felt bad about that, it sucks. Yet, I couldn't find anything under that to make me care. And that is not a good thing for a story that SAYS that Alex is basically the pivotal character of the book. That us readers will fall in love with this poor guy and cry our eyes out when his disease finally takes him....yet I didn't feel much at all but, "Oh, he died?" less
