Life in Wildwood, NJ

At first, it was really slow, and the gang/drug references was a little condoning, but at the 1/2 in really picked up and was quite interesting. It got deeper and more meaningful, and I really liked how the author talked illness and hurt in this book. But, the whole premise of the Bozo hurling insults at people isn't funny or amusing, but just malicious talk about strangers as they pass by. Everything else was pretty good, excepting some language. 3 and 1/2 stars!


*Plus Malcolm and his crazy acting was hilarious!

Good book. It had all sorts of tuff going on, and also showed that if you want something, you have to go for it. I also like it's view on acting/improv. There were some swear words, but otherwise; it came out clean.
