Book Reviews of Criss Cross
Book Review: "Nothing happens"?
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read several of the one-star reviews. A common theme seems to be: "Nothing happens in this story". To which my reply is: So what?
After all, what "happens" in middle school? You live with your family. You go to school. You hang with friends. You think a lot about classmates of the opposite sex, and wonder what they think about you. None of that is much in the way of anything "happening". But it is real life, and I think the author did a good job of looking inside the characters' hearts and minds. Her way with words also made me smile a lot.
Do you need a book with lots "happening"? Sort of the literary equivalent of an action movie with car chases and loud explosions? Skip this book. Want to try a gentle story about the little things that make up the life of an adolescent? Take this story for a spin.
