3.0 out of 5 stars
rambling without much purpose,
By ElkeW (Quebec city) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Bridge to the Stars (Paperback)
The title of my review basically says it all..it went on and on. The teenager spent a lot of time by himself, he seemed an outcast from friends, and without a connection to his father. In the end though I found that nothing much happened. Kind of pointless I thought.

Pre-adolescence as seen through the eyes of a detective fiction author,
By
This review is from: A Bridge to the Stars (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's simple and short (only just over 150), but it is wonderfully evocative of a certain kind of pre-adolescent mind-set. The imagery and allusive devices were so well crafted (simple, but rich) that I would - actually - recommend it for as a novel-reading project for teenagers. It would be brilliant on the high school curriculum. In many ways, it made me think of Sacher's Holes. I couldn't also help thinking of Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
