A review by juliemawesome
Sprout by Dale Peck
4.0
I keep going back and forth on this. This book could've been a 5 for me, but yet I'm partly tempted to give it a 3. I liked the voice and the character. And the subject matter. I just.. it's the story I'm uncertain on. And I'm kind of mad at the ending. But yea.. hard to say more without spoiling.
Goodreads recommended this book based on other things I read and I guess I'm not sorry it did.
The typos in the book annoyed me though. Two -- things (what are those called?) that were supposed to be hyphens, two letters transposed in a name, a sequence of 3 words that were out of order and two redundant, and a 'carol' that should've been 'carrel' and actually _was_ 'carrel' about two sentences before that.
Have you ever noticed how some books have _more_ errors the further into the book you go? Like the copyeditor just got tired, or bored, or wandered off.
Anyway, striking cover anyway, right?
