Changes

I hate to say this because I enjoyed the plot and the characters but something about the writing, about the voice, was a little off for me. I found it hard to get into initially and even when I did the voices grated a little. It's not because they're American – I read enough US fiction to be used to this – but something about the language didn't comfort me. One chapter begins ''Wayoata's skate park was a run-down little embedded bowl not far from a grazing pasture'' – descriptive enough and yet not easily painting a picture in my mind. For this reason, I've docked a star, but would still say the book is well worth a look.
