The Body of Christopher Creed

2001Carol Plum-Ucci

4.2/5

Let's try this your way.This is a book about a boy who goes missing after writing an ambiguous e-mail that could be either a suicide letter or a runaway note.There are many topics of note, including bullying, overbearing parenting, personality disorders, class wars (small-scale), hacking (of computers), ancient Indian burial grounds and their magical potential, and historical precedence.This reads like a book for a younger-than-teen audience, except for some promiscuity and other teen shenanigans, and it feels incredibly dated. Do you like this so far? I hate it. "Where is he?", everyone wonders. Are we looking for a dead body or a living runaway?? Why weren't we nicer to him and what are we going to learn from this experience about the way we treat others? What is it about the paper in this book that makes my fingers so unhappy?? (uh-oh, personality is creeping in!!!!)I had better get out of this review before I do anything reckless, but overall, I was unwowed by this book. And I am utterly bored by this review.
