I couldn't take it. I read 250 pages. I was so bored with the book and so uninterested in the characters. Bolano tackles a bold way to tell a story (hundreds of first-person narratives about two guys), but it just doesn't work (or he just doesn't pull it off). There's just not enough plot here to sustain my interest, and the name-dropping really wore on me. I kept avoiding the book. Coming back to it. Avoiding it. I wanted to like it, but ultimately, I think it's an artistic experiment that failed. Sorry Bolano!

Wow. Guys. I think we all pretty much know my thoughts about Andrew Smith, right? Kinda on the verge of stalker-ish-ness-ism. (or whatever) Nah. Actually the truth is, Andrew Smith is the very first writer that I've EVER connected with. Yeah, on that level. (I'm not talking to you if you have no idea what I even mean here.) I have read and collected all of Andrew's books and anxiously await the next in line. Andrew's newest release, STICK, (October 11, 2011 Feiwel and Friends) was absolutely no exception. I was willing to hitch a ride all the way to New York, go to Macmillan and beg for a copy if need be. Word must have got around about that and I'm sure those fancy high-rise pubs do not like bloggers just popping in unannounced so they sent me an advance copy. Let's just say the day I received STICK seemed like a dream. I read uninterruptedly until I finished and then with in a couple days I read the entire novel again. Yes. It. Is. That. Good. When I read STICK I didn't know what to expect. I had hints. I knew it was going to be a difficult book to digest. Then again, if it wasn't, it wouldn't have been written by Andrew Smith. So many issues are covered within this novel. What's so-called normal and what's not, is one of the biggest for Stick. He is faced with the definition of "normal" the entire novel. Are all of these things in his life "normal" just because they have been present in his life? There is so much happening in Stick's life in such a short time. There's a girl. Emily. She is Stick's best friend. They do everything together. And, there's his brother, Bosten. They used to do everything together but he's gotten older and has strayed off some. In Stick's life there couldn't be two more important people than Bosten and Emily. They mean the world to him. This story is about two brothers and their love for each other. The struggles they go through, the mistakes they make. Learning how to let go and stand up for yourself. Doing the right things. Doing the wrong things. Loving yourself and loving someone else. And a very long journey to find a way back home. Andrew makes you love the characters in his books, you feel what they do, you actually understand what they are going through. There were plenty of times that I had tears, times that I was shouting and a couple times I would do a fist pump in the air and say "hell-yeah". I was in it with both boys from the beginning and I was on their side. I felt their pain and joy. I also cried their tears. There were times I would close my eyes and vision an ocean in California just like where Stick learned to surf. I would even imagine the taste of Sex Wax and how wonderful the smell would be. I still listen to the playlist when I get lonely and want to visit the characters. Andrew has a writing style that is so very unique even though everyone of his books are different from one another. I think what links them all together is the realness of them. For me, it's the wondering "what part of this is real and what part is fiction". I've told several folks that you could give me 10 books with no labels and I would be able to pick out an Andrew Smith book every time. Just by his writing style. No one could duplicate him. It takes a lot of heart and courage to put parts of your own life into words and make that into a story. I admire anyone that can do that. It seems as though Andrew just keeps rocking them out.

Great Book. Very spooky. Gave me the chills and freaked me out a little.

James Clerk Maxwell was an amazing man and scientist. Although the book got a little too technical for me, I came away with profound respect and admiration for this brilliant man who was also kind and good.

It's an interesting book. It'll give you a new found respect for so called "unskilled workers" and a inside view of the world of Wall-Mart.

Loved it, can't wait to read the next one! I thought that the book started out kind of slow, but then I really got into and really enjoyed it. There were definitely some twists I didn't see coming and I liked that I was surprised. The alternate past and the setting in London was a lot of fun, even though Tiki and her friends were poor orphans. I realize that they had to pickpocket to live, but I really enjoyed seeing how they pulled it off and what they could get. I felt so bad for their situation though, I see why Tiki became the motherly figure. I loved the concept of the book, the plot and the addition of the super creepy faeries! Tiki was a great MC, I loved that she took care of herself and the others at such a young age. Her situation in life has been horrible, but she hasn't let that break her down. I also liked her chemistry with the other orphans and how they cared for each other. Getting to see Tiki learn to fight and create disguises was a lot of fun. I was suspicious of Rieker at first because it was hard to tell what his motives were. I ended up really liking him later on. There were some great twists with him in this book as well as great scenes with Tiki. Prince Leopold is a little creepy and am interested to see what will happen with him in the next end. The end of the book wasn't too much of a cliffhanger, but I really want to know more. Overall I really loved this book and I can't wait for the next one! I recommend it!

I don't feel like I can give this book a star rating because I pretty much skimmed it. This could just have been because of the mood I was in or because I wasn't up for some of the subject matter - namely, infidelity. I can say that I recall the quality of the writing being quite good, so I would definitely consider reading another book by this author. So?

This book was so close to being five stars. The only issue I had with it was the time transition in the middle of the book. It jumps forward several years (as it does in a few places) but one of them seems to skip some major information about the main character's training and preparation that becomes important later - tattooing for example which isn't mentioned in the first two thirds of the book.

I've never read a comic book or graphic novel as an adult, so I'm hardly a connoisseur, but as far as my amateur opinion is concerned, this is hardly a great example of the form. The artwork seems pretty bad, as does the dialogue. Still, I loved the "mirror universe" episode of the original Star Trek series, so I've been wanting to find and read this for a long time. In that regard, at least, I was pleased.

I claim this book as my all-time favorite, but hadn't read it in years. I'm re-reading it and am LOVING it again. READ IT!! Just finished it for a second time and it was just as good as the first time!
