I put it down a month ago because I couldn't get into it. Look, up in the sky!! Most of the way through I thought this was a solid 4 star book, maybe 4.5, but the ending was so saccharine and neatly wrapped up that it made me rethink the whole thing. If you've never read BOY'S LIFE, you are really missing out. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2008.
