I have wanted to read this for a while, but haven't come across it. Recently I started Iron House (halfway through) and am not enjoying it at all; not into the story, the style, or the characters. Do you consider The Last Child to be much better than others, or is it pretty representative of John Hart's work?

The Last Child, however, immediately leapt onto my "Mindblowing! Amazing!" books list. I tried reading some of Hart's other books since I enjoyed Iron House enough and was awestruck by The Last Child, but nothing else I read by him (or countless other authors, for that matter) came even close to how good The Last Child was.

Back to your original question, though: I would say if you're not feeling Iron House, feel free to abandon it, but make sure you read The Last Child. I have found his other books to be a lot more tedious and a lot less interesting compared to The Last Child, which was an absolute masterpiece.(less)

I'm not super familiar with that side of the state, but I did live in the Charlotte area for some time. I have a feeling Raven County is based on Pitt County. Greenville is the county seat and Eastern Carolina University is located there. (less)
