A review by knunderb
Blue Boy by Rakesh Satyal

Did not finish book.

1.0

I couldn't get into this book. It's told from.a first person perspective, and the main character is an 8 year old boy. So, it makes no sense for him to use words like "gams," "gusto," and for him to know what "The Honeymooners" is. Were the story told from the 3rd person, or if Kiran were an adult retelling the story of his childhood the voice would have made more sense. Also, I felt that the author was being way to stereotypical with Kiran being trans-gender. The voice given to Kiran is way over the top and reads as stereotypically gay.
