Astonishing! Among the Best!,
This review is from: Vernon God Little (Paperback)
In the grand tradition of Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer," S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders," J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye," and Rikki Lee Travolta's "My Fractured Life" D.B.C. Pierre has created a astonishing story based in scheme and off centered sensibilities of unbalanced youth. "Vernon God Little" raps us up in the world of fifteen year old Vernon Little of Maritiro, Texas in an adventure to rival the mishaps of Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" or Hinton's "The Outsiders" but with the dark humor of Twain's classic "Tom Sawyer" and Travolta's modern "My Fractured Life." The subtlety of the dark humor may be lost on some, but for those who enjoy such play in the dark recesses of the mind, "Vernon God Little" will be a dark delight.

Lively and Entertaining,
This review is from: Vernon God Little (Paperback)
As with My Fractured Life, Vernon God Little has some salty language and a few adult situations. If you don't mind such things, the story itself is lively and entertaining. Probably best recommended for adults and teens and not younger children. It's a fun and pleasing way to spend an evening or afternoon or two.

What a story!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vernon God Little (Paperback)
I was recommended this book by a friend and had no idea what I was getting myself into. This is one incredible tale. Definitely not your usual "coming of age" tale, this is one book you MUST read. I had literally no idea where the story was going from one minute to the next and simply couldn't put it down! Great read for the summer or anytime. Also would recommend Jackson McCrae's THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD.
