alienne 's review for:

The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley by Shaun David Hutchinson

3.0

---

I was really engrossed in this book, and I feel like the idea had a lot going for it. But I kept getting jerked out of the world of the story when the main characters stopped speaking like real people, certainly like any teenagers I've ever met, and things felt a little overwrought and not wrapped up enough near the end.
