This book is really appropriately named.
This book made quite an impression on my 14-year old, just about to enter high school self seventeen years ago. I enjoyed my second reading of it on a totally different level. Not exactly a light read, but a relatively quick one - the characters are all engaging in their melancholy, and it's one of those books that's filled to the brim with metaphors, but never gets bogged down by them.

It was OK. It's a story of lonliness which is OK, but I wanted the characters to move or grow beyond their lonliness. They never did.
And where were Mick's parents??? Letting children roam the city streets, smoke, drink, and play with loaded guns!!! Obvously it was written in another day and age.
