Brat by Gabriel Smith
2.75

This book was just ok for me. I considered giving it a three but it didn't resonate that much with me. I liked the mixed media format and the manuscripts and video tapes were my favorite parts of the story (I'd read an entire novel based on the premise of the dad's script). I already saw the ending coming since the book is written by Gabriel about Gabriel, but I still feel like that was a very creative choice. Overall though, I don't think that I get this book. I don't really understand the deer men or the two teens. It may have all been too allegorical for me.
