<i>Rule of the Bone<i> is a book about a fourteen year old kid who fails out of school, is already hooked on drugs, and is being secretly abused my his stepfather. I know this sounds dark, but Bone, the main character, is, perhaps, one of the most "together" narrators. He knows his flaws and the world's flaws, but this does not stop him from living the existence he chooses--to be homeless and kind of a mallrat. Have you ever met a complete druggie loser and have realized that he is smarter and more intelligent than most people? Well that is Bone.
I recommend this book for anyone who like Holden Caulfield's crass narrative, but thought that he was a privileged bitch. Bone is much more enjoyable and witty, and he stands up for himself, something Holden only thought he was capable of.
