Raven Stole the Moon by Garth Stein

2.0

The overall plot was interesting, but there were many passages and even whole chapters that really weren't needed to move the plot forward. The characters were fairly one-dimensional. The author's note at the end further disappointed me. I knew the book was his first, originally published in 1998, so I kept this in mind as I read. However, Stein states in his note at the end of the book that he had the opportunity to make changes before is return to print in 2010. He could have developed his characters more fully, and he could have deleted the whole chapter where Robert goes out to get drunk and high. I still don't see the purpose of that chapter...
