Books like My Brother's Keeper

man, disappointing after Cut. not bad, but the innovative style of her debut book was put aside in exchange for a kind of boring narrative about three boys, drugs, and alcohol. and if i had to read one more line about looking at the stargell baseball card, i was going to throw something. maybe the book. it was such a short book and it took me forever to read because frankly, i was bored. really, really bored. which is so sad. because i really loved her first book, and i don't want to write her off. hopefully her next book comes out fast, and it focuses on girls instead of boys with absent fathers and depressive mothers.
