Summary: The Next Step Up From "Holes"
Review: Working at a bookstore, I was able to read the advance galley version of this book, and the quote on the back more or less sums it up: "The two of us going after this guy is like the Hardy Boys meets Hannibal Lecter."Graham McNamee has here written the male equivalent of the impeccable "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, or perhaps a teenage, literary, 'mundane' "Unbreakable". Certaintly, this is the next step for boys 13 years old (at least) who find Louis Sachar's Newberry-winning "Holes" to be below their level. It embraces male stereotypes at the same time it rejects them, and it has a timeless quality in the details of setting that ensure it a lasting place in the hearts of those who found "Catcher in the Rye" to be too downbeat and lacking in action. All in all, if any of the above sounded even mildly appealing, you'll enjoy this book a lot more than mildly.
