I got about halfway through and gave up. The book didn't seem to be moving at an engaging pace, and the things that *were* happening in the book as it went along were just... weird.

3.75*. Never heard of this book/author but I did really enjoy it and would read from them again. The book is a bit weird and I had no idea where it was going half the time which I really enjoyed.

Very odd, disjointed writing. The synopsis made it sound like it would be all about Chalktown and Hezekiah, but it really wasn't centered on that. I should've DNF'd it but kept thinking the ending would be worth it. It wasn't.

This was the perfect book to read while on vacation. I loved the lulling style of writing and found myself wandering back woods areas where I love to run.
The characters are an eclectic mix, each very individual and coping with life the way they can. The weakest character I felt was the mother. I wished I'd known more about her at the beginning of the story because I harbored some animosity toward Hez as he took Levi and left. Susan-Blair was being responsible, even if she wasn't involved with her children.
The story about Chalktown kept my interest although the events were way past the time of the action. This might confuse students.
I would recommend this book to sophisticated readers. The main character is a teenage boy who does not attend school much. It would be appropriate for either a girl or a boy.
