John Vincent _ohn_incent — I am a better woman after reading this memoir. Everytime Ayaan Hirsi Ali opens her mouth someone wishes her dead. What have you done to change the world?

Tolga Darende tolcha — hilarious. another quick read, because each chapter is its own separate entity. my favorite chapter: "mint threshold"

Kevin Gilchrist gilchristpress — I received this ARC from the publisher. Blink is a kid living on the streets who happens to be in a hotel when some mysterious stuff goes down: several men leave a hotel room, and later footage appears where one of the men, the CEO of a large company, is being "kidnapped." Blink steals a phone left in the hotel room and contacts the man's daughter, who doesn't know anything different from the news reports. Blink and the daughter, Alyson, make plans to meet. Caution, a girl running from her abusive drug dealer boyfriend, runs into Blink, and together they begin to unravel this mystery. The book is told half in third-person (from Caution's point of view) and half in second-person (Blink's point of view). I was not crazy about the use of the second-person, although I adjusted to it. My problem is that I am not a 16-year-old homeless boy, although this did make Blink a more universal character, as well as more likable. I also didn't like the author's interjections (e.g. "Blink, my child, you're in trouble again"), I just didn't like that there was a first person in there at all, making judgments. Would the story have been as effective without the second-person narration? I'm not sure - it certainly made it more interesting, and without it I think the novel would have been pretty flat (sort of like my experience with another of Tim Wynne-Jones's books, The Uninvited). I did like the two main characters, with all their faults and back stories. I liked the ending. The whole part of the story about the false kidnapping and all felt kind of there for no reason or just to bring these two characters together - I was hoping for something that really would have been intertwined somehow. All in all it was good, not great. There were a few swears, drug references, and some sexual situations - nothing especially graphic.
