Women here are pictured as irrational and not knowing, what the truely think. Additionally men need women to be functioning people, just cannot understand women (ugh) and put them on pedestals. 

This book tries to be clever but isn't.

3.5

I legit thought this book would be supernatural or paranormal in some way but it was not at all. That's not a bad thing, I just thought it was going to be. I really did like what it ended up being, a coming-of-age story about a boy hanging out with his quirky and troubled uncle and making friends. The only gripe I have with this book is it was somewhat slow paced. I think that I may like this book more upon reread now that I know what to expect.
