35 - Getting the Girl, by Markus Zusak, 250 pages, Scholastic Inc, 2001
WHY I PICKED IT: Markus Zusakt wrote it.
ELAPSED TIME: 4 days
RATING: Good
Zusak's follow-up to Fighting Ruben Wolfe sees our hero (Cam Wolfe) finding inner strength to define himself separate from the shadows of his achieving brothers. It's a well written, quick read, targeted to a teenage angst-ridden audience... However, if you're only going to read one book by Zusak, I'd still recommend The Book Thief... and if you have read that and loved it, don't expect more of the same in this (earlier) work.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
