InexcusableSimon Pulse
Kier is the average high school kid. He wants the same things everyone else does. Then he cripples an opponent on the football field and suddenly becomes famous, or rather infamous. Everything is turning out right for him. He has friends, a great family, and he's really close to getting the girl of his dreams. Then things get a little skewed. When his two sisters can't come to his graduation, he seeks the help of his dream girl. Everything turns sour overnight and Kier is forced to face the consequences of his actions, no matter how horrible they might be.
WARNING: Swearing, rape, drinking.
Personal opinion:
I thought the story line was absolutely brilliant and I think this is a perfect book to teach the concept of a unreliable narrator. But I really didn't like the writing. I was bored with a lot of it. Maybe it was just the mood I was in and the fact that it's the end of the semester and my brain is tired, but it took me a really long time to get through just because I didn't like the writing. Maybe I'll have to read it again when my brain is fresh.
