A review by reader4evr
Bruiser by Neal Shusterman
3.0
When I read the summary for this book, I didn't think it was going to be what it was about. I thought it was going to be family abuse but I was wrong. I didn't expect it to have also the "fantasy" element of it too. That kind of surprised me because I thought it wasn't going to do that at all. I guess I might have expected that because of the other book that I have read by Nel Shusterman was sci fiction.
I enjoyed that this book had different points of views/alternating chapters between the main characters. I really liked listening to it on audiobook too. Books that are set up this way I believe you really get to know the characters better because you don't always get to see the other side of the story. I really liked Bronte and Brewster and not sure much Tennyson. I felt like he was a bully throughout the book and not until after he found out about Brewster's gift is when he started being nice to him. I really didn't care about the Cody parts, really didn't feel like he needed to have a part of the story like Brewster, Tennyson and Bronte.
