This was a fun ride.
On an episode of Books in the Freezer, Stephen Graham Jones described YA horror as adult novels with all the boring stuff removed. Until I heard that, I didn't even give YA novels a chance. I've been reading for 50 years! I've read all of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and David Foster Wallace! I couldn't enjoy a "Young" Adult novel any more than I would enjoy the next Disney movie (and I don't even watch movies, or TV).
But then I heard Jones's comment and thought I would give it a try.
And I DID enjoy this one!
On a side note, I've ordered Clown in a Cornfield and am really looking forward to it. :)
