And this book's premise sounds great.<BR/><BR/>The phrase 'mother's information dump' made me cringe.

JOEY RAMONE does too, though it has more 'first novel' issues.<BR/><BR/>PJ - if you like parent/child issues, this is a must read! It's graphic with the language and such, and doesn't exactly set a good example for teenage girls. But it's still a great book. I really enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>Carrie - get a copy and start reading! :) <BR/><BR/>Christina - yeah, I thought so too at first. But the parallels are so strong that we discover they're not so opposing after all. But that happens gradually, so it's very effective. It's a good book. :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401296522737471037.post-11524304631150823222009-02-13T02:45:00.000-06:002009-02-13T02:45:00.000-06:00Interesting book.

I think I may have seen a YA third person/first person book before, but can't name it. (First saw it in Leon Uris's TRINITY in the 70s, so it's gotta hit YA by now, right? :)) Since the mom is distant, it sounds like that structure makes sense. Kids doing what their parents do, even as they decry it, because it's what they know, is also a theme of A ROOM ON LORELEI STREET.
