Written as letters to his parents, Boo tells them about his heavenly adventures as he forms friendships for the first time, learns about forgiveness, and makes peace with the boy he once was.
Boo is one of those books I've had on my TBR shelf for years that, through all the weeding I have done with that shelf, I knew I would want to read it. I'm glad I kept it because it's easily become one of my favorite books.
I will be honest and say I wasn't sure about Oliver/Boo and if I would like this at the beginning. Super smart teenagers almost always come across as too cocky for me to care. I'm not entirely sure when my feelings switched and I did a 180, but it wasn't very far into the novel (pretty sure it was a page after the thought that I might not enjoy this ran across my mind). Boo has become one of my favorite characters and his story is one that will stay with me.
Boo and Johnny's journey kept me interested throughout the whole thing. Boo's voice and his little inputs to his Mother and Father would almost always make me smile.
Though the characters are all thirteen-year-olds, I don't know if I would see myself as categorizing this as young adult... it just didn't really feel like your typical YA. It's for sure a coming-of-age type of story, but I would just put this as regular fiction that would also appeal to teens.… (lisätietoja)
