The most meditative account I've ever read of bank robbery and murder, and there is something in bank robbery and murder that does not love a meditative viewpoint. At least for me. Dell, the fifteen-year old boy and first-person narrator feels so distanced from life that it's sort of a shrug to watch all this through his eyes. I'm furious with his idiot parents, and not much more pleased with his twin sister who abandoned him, and then the ghastly Arthur Remlinger who uses him I still don't know to what purpose. Certainly not for Dell's skill with a shovel.
A very odd and somber read.

Thank you for saving me from this book. It's not my style at all.

I am half way through slogging around in this kid's foggy mind. I am not loving that it is all past tense. Even the bank robbery, where I finally sat up and said now this should pick up, was soooo boring.
