The Mostly True Story of Jack by Kelly Barnhill
3.0
3.5 stars
This book had a good opening, pulling you right into the story, and throughout kept a good pace. I had started and put down a few books before this one, not finding myself engaged enough to read, so I was glad to come across a book that kept me reading until the end. The writing of this book fluctuated between good and almost-bad, and the characters at times seemed to react in a way the plot required them to, instead of how their character would lead them to react, which led to a lower rating. All in all, however, this was a fine book.
