A review by maddiemcevoy
The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith
4.0
this is unlike anything i’ve ever read, and i’ve read grasshopper jungle.
it did remind me at times of slaughterhouse five, but it was definitely a kids summer camp story at heart.
i loved ariel, he was an incredible narrator and i won’t soon forget his voice or his story.
the summer camp plotline definitely kept me interested in the story at first, but as i got further and the different plotlines started to connect, i enjoyed every word.
this book is one i need to think about more, and i know i will be thinking about it a lot.
i’m not exactly sure what it’s trying to say, but the story was unique and succinct and incredible.
i don’t know how to write a review for this book because it’s like no other book i’ve read.
it’s very difficult to read at times, it has moments that are scary and heartbreaking.
but it also shows you the simple beauty of humanity— kids forming friendships and making dumb jokes.
i loved this book, and i think it needs more praise and more readers.
