I picked this up wondering if it was as good as I remembered. Half an hour later, I had to admit it is.
The novel is in the form of letters our pseudonymous hero writes to a stranger somewhere. He writes about his strange family dynamic, and making new friend in high school.
This is a very good coming of age story. It's also incredibly depressing, so be ready for that.
Strange, I thought of this book when I gave my niece my own well-worn copy of Alien Blood, the anthology of Joan D. Vinge's first two Cat novels. Now I'm thinking about giving her this book.
