Customer Reviews

Actually, it's really good!

I found "Hall Pass" at a local used book store, and I was pretty hesitant about picking it up. Eventually, I just took it, and this past weekend, I started reading it--and finished it! It was a pretty quick read, and definitely a good one. The first half of the book is okay, and seems a bit monotonous, but as soon as Melissa gets tangled up in it all, it really gets exciting. What I liked was how the mystery was revealed so early on, but no one believed Melissa, and she was left to bare with the horrors by herself, and perhaps with Russel Morse, a greaser she befriends. I was very surprised by how good this got, and the ending wasn't half bad. I wish it was a little more exciting, that's all, but really, it was good. I thought the characters were original, the style was exciting, and the atmosphere had some helplessness in it that I really enjoyed. So, if you come across this novel, I encourage you to pick it up. Once you get into it, you'll find yourself saying, "Y'know, this is not so bad." I know that's how I felt!
