It wasn't as engaging as his Last Days of Summer, but it was in a similar very easy to read format... this one was told via IM exchanges, and diary type letters. I enjoyed the story overall, but had a hard time with his characterization. I felt that I had a hard time keeping it straight in my mind WHEN the story was happening... as I mentioned, they used IM but talked as though it was 1960. The kids also seemed to be much younger than they actually were. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16877?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
