The Big Crunch by Pete Hautman
3.0
Firstly: June. June, June, June. What is your deal, June? You're all hating the moving and then you're all falling in love and then you're all screwing things up.
And what was it about everyone not calling people back in this book? Every time I turned the page, someone was calling someone, looking at the caller ID, and ignoring the call. Or hanging up on each other! And then after they hung up on each other they would text each other. Society, I'm sad about you if this is what we're doing now.
And the ending was spectacularly anticlimactic. So then I looked up Pete Hautman and he's, like, written stuff before. This is not his first attempt. Pete (can I call you Pete?), I like your character development. I like that your characters are real. I don't like the decisions your characters make because I don't think it's in keeping with their actions and feelings. I don't suppose you'd like to rewrite this, so maybe we just keep in mind for next time?
Also, there's some porn talk in this book. And the porn talk sometimes puts me off of recommending it in ze library. Otherwise, not that much to be concerned about-not even language.
