Very well done
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A poignant, sensitive portrayal of deformity, addiction, death, and birth. Cheripko writes to the young adult but manages to draw in readers of any age, including this grandmother. Everything DOESN'T turn out all right in the end, just like in real life. A real winner.
Absolutely Needed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book contains the very essence of each person's struggles with the truth and the battle to right by one's family and friends. Cheripko seemingly knows of what he writes about. The passion in Rat's heart is the burning in all of our hearts. The words on the page take you to the very core of Rat's existance...his necessity to follow his soul's desire until a resolution is made between him and his conscience. Bravo to Cheripko for daring to tell a story of great value, worth, and dignity in these times where these ideas are needed to be voiced and heard.
Rivoting!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This story is an absolutely rivoting tale of what it takes to tell the truth in modern society. The story gripped me from the moment I picked it up til the last page was turned. I found the characters to be real and the content of the plot super. This is a book not only for young adults, but for adults as well. Rat is that conscience inside all of us waiting to come out. Cheripko wastes no time in conveying the ideals and conflict that Rat will have to face, even in the midst of his own desires.
