J have much love this novel. The story is that of a teenager in liabilities more or less complicated, who desperately tries to find his place and grow. The main character is very appealing: it is full of good will, sympathetic, and the player really has the feeling that he wants to leave s. But that is what is wrong with him and why it does not work?
Do not get me wrong there: he s acts nor a novel for teens, nor a replica of catches heart of Salinger.
Why read it if is known across the Atlantic and across the Channel and so little with us? The answer is may be in the quality of translation ... I recommend this book in the original version (even with an average level of English)
