Punkzilla by Adam Rapp

5.0

I must give the full disclaimer here that the author, [a:Adam Rapp|52277|Adam Rapp|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1273761019p2/52277.jpg], is my older brother, but that's not going to stop me from saying that I consider this to be his richest novel yet. As always, Adam unerringly captures the voices of his narrators (the book is a series of letters, most of which are written between two brothers), but in this novel he has reached his deepest level yet of compassion for all of the flawed and courageous and terrified characters he has created. I'm thrilled for his success, and am gratified that there are plenty of folks out there -- including the committee that gave him the Printz Honor for this book -- who share my view that this is a beautifully rendered novel of the lengths we must go to in order to connect to those we love.
