Unexpectedly, Milo by Matthew Dicks
4.0
I'm really at 3.5 on this one. I enjoyed the plot and I found myself really feeling sympathy for Milo even though he's a pretty strange guy. All of the cultural references in the book seemed to be snatched out of my own childhood memories -- so that helped me to enjoy the book more too.
Still, I'm not sure that this story will work for everyone, hence the hedging between 3 and 4 stars.
This is my second Matthew Dicks book and while I enjoyed the plot of the first one (Something Missing) I never warmed up to the main character. In this one, it was easy to appreciate all Milo's good qualities and his struggle to appear normal. I think we all fight that fight to some extent within ourselves.
Very much looking forward to Matthew Dicks next book: Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend.
