The Pox Party by M.T. Anderson
5.0
Admittedly it took me a while to get into this book. I found the language rather off-putting and I wasn't completely sure what was happening at first. I wasn't that interested. I am so grateful that I kept reading! AMAZING! Just AMAZING! I thought this book was absolutely fascinating. What a tremendous effort! I can't praise it highly enough, I'm recommending it to several people.
I'm NOT recommending it to the junior high kids I know and not even to the high school kids I know. I just don't know many kids mature enough to wade though the language to get to the excellent story. And this is a story that is well worth the effort... I just don't think that at that age they'll be willing to put the effort forth. I don't blame them. I really don't. Like I said before, I had problems getting into the book at first and it's been a LONG time since I was in high school.
Reading this as a freshman in college would be perfect, I think.
