- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This story is told from the point of a little boy, and though the narrative tends to be more mature than a little boy's narrative should be, the book is still engrossing. I loved the characters and how the end just jumped around from realistic fiction to something closer to a type of postmodernism. Great book and a quick, easy read.
