Boo by Neil Smith
5.0
OMG, this was an amazing trip. I didn't read the blurb as usual and didn't know what I was getting myself into, and this had me guessing about the characters and the events all the time. And that was so good. When twists and turns were foreshadowed I thought "ah, yes this is where it is going" and then we got there and I was clueless again. Loved it.
Also the narration is really well done, you only get Boo's point of view and you have to rely on his knowledge and understanding of events and it is fascinating how you get to know him better and thus can judge his narration better as the story progresses.
And the setting of the novel is really well crafted and challenging stereotypical beliefs.
Listening to the audiobook was pure joy as well, as the narrator does a really good job.
Have you noticed that I didn't elaborate on what is going on and on the characters? It's because I don't want to spoil the fun of discovering them on your own.
