Crabbe's Journey

Rating:
Summary: It was alright, but...
Review: This is a novel about a young, semi-alcoholic teenager, who decides to run away from home because he has difficulty getting along with his parents, family, friends and teachers. Crabbe, a straight A students, decides to leave home the night before his final exams and graduation. He runs out to the forest and there he has great difficulty surviving, until he meets Mary, a young woman who is also running away, but for much different reasons. Mary teaches Crabbe how to survive in the wild, and provides Crabbe with comfort. At the end of the novel, many interesting twists and turns happen, and the ending is something that very few would expect.

Though this book could be very profound at times, it was also boring in others. I had to read this novel in grade 9 for a project, and because I had to do work on it, that could explain why I did not enjoy it as much as I could have.

If this novel sounds interesting to you, take a chance and buy it, you might enjoy it more than me.
