Book Reviews of Punk Like Me
Book Review: A little too much reality for me
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm of two minds about this book. On the one, I think that the voice of the narrative is refreshingly original, or at least different than a lot of fiction out there. On the other, I have a minor pet peeve about starting a book at the end, then flashing back for no real reason (like a foregone conclusion, or skips back and forth in time to support the actions of certain characters, etc.), and the characters experiences a bit too much pain for this to be strictly an entertaining read.
But there are places for that type of fiction too. And while I praised the voice above, at times it seemed too affected for me, a little too much like "Rose of No Man's Land", another book I guess I didn't quite "get". The character was ultimately admirable in how she handled harsh events, and stayed true to herself despite some pretty steep odds, but too many times seemed to do and be things just to get a reaction. That's part of growing up I suppose.
I think that a lot of people will be interested in this book for its differences, and just as many will be put off by them. If you don't mind a bit of a mess, and don't mind disliking some of the main characters, I'd say you're the former, and should give it a shot.
