2 out of 5 stars
I was disappointed with this book. I
expected a much better novel. While it was well written and I don’t see why it
should be “challenged”, the story just didn’t grab me. I think this may be one
of those young adult novels where you need to be a young adult to really enjoy
it. I usually love books written in letter or diary form, but it aggravated me
that the story never revealed who the letters were written to, if it was just a
diary, or why it was written in letter form in the first place. I was hoping
this would be revealed at the end of the story and it never was. I also could
have done without the storyline of the very personal relationship between
Charlie and his teacher, whom he called by his first name. It creeped me out a
bit.
