icarusandthesun 's review for:

Shy by Max Porter
3.5
dark hopeful sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

weird, and kinda depressing, but good!
i love how creatively the author formatted the book; it was different and special, and really helped the whole illusion of being in this troubled kid's mind, where not everything (anything) is orderly and pretty and normal.

some sections i had to read twice though, because the vocab threw me off and so did all the references to random topics and songs.

still, i rather enjoyed it.
