Customer Reviews

Full of vivid emotions

I really liked this book.It described the emotional turmoil going on inside Joe(the main character)perfectly.While reading this book you can feel his intense lonliness,his feeling of detatchment from the real world and his deep anguish at losing a wonderful friendship.The relationship between him and Ashley was potrayed very well and so were his attempts of trying to transform himself from the rich boy to a poor kid "taking in"the fair.
