Bear, Otter, and the Kid

review 1: So I have to confess that I'm a cover snob. I held off reading this book despite its fantastic reviews because I don't like the cover and the title sounded goofy. I still hate the cover, but the name has grown on me. There isn't a way for me to describe how much I loved this book. Or how much I love the characters. I have never before laughed as hard at a book or cried as much. Fantastic series, one of my very favorites. I read the first three books in the series in three days. I cannot wait for the fourth.
review 2: This is my very first book by T J Klune and I'm totally aghast of not catching into it sooner. He's ot some mad skills! He's witty, direct, a bit self-indulgent at times but that's when you know you're up for a good ride.The title of the book is a... more bit strange and sounded silly but delving on it, you'll find that it's neither strange nor silly. The book was told through Derrick McKenna's (Bear) perspective starting on how her mother abandoned him when he was about to turn 18 and was left to be the sole care taker of his six year old brother Tyson (Kid). As the story progresses, we meet the people supporting Bear on what seemed to be a dire situation for a barely legal teen to carry. This support group includes Creed (Bear's best friend), Anna (Bear's on and off again girlfriend), Mrs.Paquin (Bear's 70 year old sitter) and Oliver aka Otter (Creed's big bro). Unexpectedly, Bear initially fins himself leaning more towards Otter for emotional support which eventually led to Otter running away to California leaving Bear devastated beyond measure. Three years later, Otter is back and will do everything to make it up to Bear. This reunion proves to be more than just making up for Otter's abandonment. Bear also needs to face the truth about himself, fight for the kid and the man he couldn't live without.I really do like the first person approach of the narration here and I really enjoyed the book except for the final few pages because it was just so sad. I also find it a bit anticlimactic and the confrontation's a bit subdued for my taste. (Oh, I'm also guessing that Jonah has something to do with Bear's mother sudden appearance)The book is truly a beautiful journey with these nice people who are all awe-inspiring and pretty realistic in every sense!Rating: 5 out of 5 stars less
