A review by rdyourbookcase
The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith

3.0

This was a tough read for me. One of the best things about Andrew Smith’s writing is that he doesn’t treat teens like they’re younger or more immature than what they actually are just because they’re teens. The Alex Crow started slowly and then all of a sudden everything happened at once. I wish I had known what was going to happen before I started the book. There are few things that are difficult for me to read about, but this book had one of those things. If The Kite Runner made you uncomfortable, I would warn you about this book. It’s definitely worth the read, as are all of Smith’s books, but it’s good to know what you’re getting into when you start it. I definitely look forward to Smith’s next novel!
