“I listened to this one on CD on a 6 hour car trip by myself. I didn't think the person they selected to do the reading fit the character very much--and also, listening to something is different than reading it, so take that in consideration when reaing my review.
What I liked about this book: Anderson got a lot of things right about inner-city schools. The atmosphere and attitude rings true to me. I really liked this because it seems so easy to get wrong in important ways.
What else? Well, some of the details about putting on Prom were a little listy when listening.
I loved the Grandma's character. She was the best part.
Still, not a particularly memorable book to me personally.”
