Click: One Novel, Ten Authors by David Almond

4.0

Wow, the ending of this book was not what I expected...at all. The novel is by several different authors, each of whom wrote one chapter from a different character's perspective. The story revolves around a photographer nicknamed "Gee," and chapter is told from the point of view of someone who knew him or met him on his travels. I have no idea what kind of child I would ever give this boook to. If I'm going to be honest, I think I would have HATED reading this as a kid. Some of the characters talk about extremely abstract concepts that no child under the age of 13 or 14 has any prayer of understanding, and there are references to some fairly adult themes--extra-marital affairs, rape, etc... Anyway, I enjoyed the book, but I don't think it's one I'll be handing out for readers advisory questions anytime soon.
