BLACK RABBIT SUMMER

KEVIN BROOKS
i love this book. i love it.

if you were to never ever read anything i suggested except for one thing, read this one.

did that make sense? why is it double spacing? i didn't do that...

it's in england too! the setting of this book, i mean. which means they talk cool. and say Mum. and the main character is Pete (officially like that name, not Peter, just Pete) and we get in his head and it's crazy. reminded me a bit of Catcher in the Rye, which then some1 compared the author or J.D. Salinger (catcher in the rye) so i felt validated.

and there's Nicole (who goes by NIC, see??!) and Pauly (who is wayyy more messed up than they tell us at first) and Eric (gay. manno) and even Wes (manno) and then Raymond. and raymond talks to his pet bunny. who he just calls Black Rabbit. and when his first one died he bought another black rabbit and called it the same thing and he thinks they're all just the same. and it talks to him.

and a girl goes missing and a big mystery unfolds. so it's a mystery book, but the first quarter really isn't. black rabbit summer is sad, and funny, and smart, and scary, and drunk...

READ THIS BOOK, IT ROCKS SOCKS
