It was good, but I think I was expecting more out of this than I got. Probably because the first line was "I have a secret. Everyone knows it but me." Maybe I was thinking too much about that to really get into the book, I don't know. I'm not sure how exactly to explain what I was looking for or what was missing, but something was. ( ) I keep going back and forth on this. This book could've been a 5 for me, but yet I'm partly tempted to give it a 3. I liked the voice and the character. And the subject matter. I just.. it's the story I'm uncertain on. And I'm kind of mad at the ending. But yea.. hard to say more without spoiling. Goodreads recommended this book based on other things I read and I guess I'm not sorry it did. The typos in the book annoyed me though. Two -- things (what are those called?) that were supposed to be hyphens, two letters transposed in a name, a sequence of 3 words that were out of order and two redundant, and a 'carol' that should've been 'carrel' and actually _was_ 'carrel' about two sentences before that. Have you ever noticed how some books have _more_ errors the further into the book you go? Like the copyeditor just got tired, or bored, or wandered off. Anyway, striking cover anyway, right? This book has a truly violent and scary underlayer. Sprout is a complex and interesting young man, and he's surrounded by odd characters and strange reverberations from his past. His mom's dead, his dad's a drunk, his kinda-sorta-boyfriend's.. well, that'd be a spoiler. The characters are well-drawn and eccentric. I'm not really sure how I feel about this one- it's disturbing and unresolved and what Wendy Burton would probably call a 'boy book' in a slightly dismissive tone. Peck's work has been hit or miss for me, with the standout being [b:Drift House: The First Voyage|19983|Drift House The First Voyage|Dale Peck|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167290872s/19983.jpg|1931660]. This, for me, doesn't reach those giddy heights, but it's certainly worth a read for the disorientation factor alone.
