Summary: This book is great because it keeps you wondering!
Review: In Chris Lynch's novel, Blood Relations, fifteen year old MIke, is having sibling problems while his parents are away for the weekend. The main character, Mike, is left alone with his older brother while his parents are away visiting some friends. Mike's brother throws a party for his friends every year but this year's is worse than ever! Mike wants nothing to do with it. Mike's brother goes as far as sacrificing a goat's life, and that's where Mike draws the line and leaves town before they all sober up. Mike and a couple of friends stay over night at a motel about 50 miles away. When Mike goes back, he decides to go to his best friend's house to stay until his parents get back. When his parents do come back, Mike gets a job at their bar, but he refuses to go home. Mike gets kicked out of his best friend's parent's house for starting a fire while trying to cook supper. Where can he turn now? You'll never know unless you read this book... I enjoyed this book very much! It keeps you trying to guess where he's going to go next.

Summary: Lynch wastes a good character on a lousy plot
Review: Mick, star of the blue-eyed son series, could have been a hero to be talked about for years to come in YA literature. but Lynch's meandering narrative, gratutious violence, and left-dangling plot lines leave the books' potential unrealized. it has been said this would have made one good book, so it is easy to suspect Lynch of trying to milk the library market for three sales instead of one.

Summary: this book was really good, for ages 12 and up:-)
Review: This book was about a fifteen year old kid growing up in Urban america. I recommend it for kids 12 and up because it did use strong language and a lot of profanity.

Summary: Tough And Amazing Book
Review: This is an amazing book. It writes with shocking reality and naked insight into the mind of a teenager. Like a tough, non-poetic Francesca Lia Block or Rob Thomas.
