I really enjoyed this. The writing was amusing. It was an odd-couple novel with a 12 year-old boy and an older ex-con becoming friends through the game of scrabble. It was a great read. I definitely recommend it.

I'm old-fashioned so all the talk of boners and the boy looking at every set of boobs he came across caught me a little off-guard, but I suppose that is really what boys think about.

This is a quick and entertaining read. Give it a shot.
