Junk Boy by Tony Abbott
2.0
challenging emotional hopeful fast-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

So. Here's the thing. I just don't entirely Get the point of view of the main character. Like, I understand some of his motivation and I get a lot of what the story is saying but there's so many times when the lead character does things that simply do not make sense to me. Maybe it's because it is so short or maybe it's the nature of being a book in verse but this just didn't work for me. The other problem is that the minor characters seem pretty two dimensional and things just sort of work out in a really weird way.  Additionally this got pretty weird about religion in general, I'm not gonna lie. Overall this book just didn't do it for me at all.
