review 1: I found this book this morning in a book shop, and just finished it. It´s the sort of novel you just can´t put aside, that completely overwhelms you. The novelist Willy Vlautin comments it like this: "It´s the sort of novel I´m always hoping to find. It´s odd, heartfelt, romantic, sad, and most of all honest" and I feel that´s quite an accurate review. I enjoyed it from the first to the last page, and I guess my thoughts will be turning back to the story once in a while. The british language is "brilliant", and I realize I must have been reading quite a few american books as it pleases me so much to read it.
review 2: To be honest, I did not expect an interesting story from this book which has a fairly simple and not interesting book cover. However, it wa... mores contrary to my expectation; a person who hates to read books like me could manage reading it. One of the biggest reasons why I hate reading is that usually the first part of the books are so boring that I cannot continue reading them until I get to the exciting part. In this story, it was exciting from the beginning. The basic information of the main character, Luke and his dad are presented in the first part and the situation they are under is already something. The story is written in a simple yet thought-provoking style which let audiences share the feelings of the characters in the story. I was impressed by the innate strength of Luke who silently accepts the reality and lives his life strongly. The way author decided to write such as making the narrator Luke, successfully worked to me in terms of letting readers sympathize with him and absorb them into the story. This book deals with rather serious issues such as death of mum and bullying, but it does not sound too heavy, so I'd recommend it for people who are interested to read those kinds of themes without feeling too bad. less
