review 1: Sometimes when authors are trying to be really inventive and original in the way they tell a story, they miss the boat. This is one of those cases. The book is about a 13 year-old with a brain tumor and his attempts to achieve his goals despite the illness. Sounds good right? Well, it is written as a train of thought with everything that comes to the boys mind spilling on to the page. It gets confusing and hard to follow. Mostly though, it just isn't interesting. It is set in England, so I will give it an English review. It is rubbish.
review 2: While I found this one easy enough to read I feel it didn't quite pay off in the end. I didn't care too much for the little tid bits of information but the format used was a nice twist. I didn't like how Alex was a litt... morele flat and that his stories wandered, and the end was a little bit of a let down. Glad I read it, it was interesting but would be hard to recommend to a friend because the story isn't too straight forward. less
