A Slipping-Down Life
This little book has a punch; the feel of a Carson McCullers story with the descriptive flair of Markus Zusak.Zusak from the Book Thief; "The day was gray, the color of Europe. Curtains of rain were drawn around the car".Tyler from A Slipping-Down Life; "While she was waiting on the front porch, clutching her books to her chest, disapproval hung like a fog up and down her street".Of course this book was published six years before Zusak was born. Just a good book, plot, characters, style, all combined to create a little gem.
