This is a good one for fans of The Deadly Sister, and The Night My Sister Went Missing. ( ) I usually love Pete Hautman's works but this one barely did anything for me. I lacked connection with any of the characters, a lot of them were underdeveloped, and the major twists at the end involving Shayne were lackluster verging on cliche. It's more of a bullied kid's wet dream than anything else. The officer character's storyline as well as the chapters that took place in the police station saved it from being a one-star book. Wow, I had to power through this book to find out what happened! Good suspense. The story involves a teenager who comes to the police with quite a story - he may have killed someone. Who? Besides following the narrative of Shayne Blank in the interview room at the station, we also follow the narrative of Mike Martin, another student at school. A lot happens to this group of teenagers in this short book, much of it involving the drug dealer, Jon. Fast paced and interesting. Blank Confession was everything that I wanted it to be. I was in the middle of reading a much larger book and wanted something short that would be quick to read. I also wanted a thriller or mystery because I feel like reading those genres during October. So, I browsed my school library and spotted Blank Confession. It said it was a mystery and it was small with a nice cover; so, I picked it up. It took me a very short amount of time to read it. Not only was it small, but the story pulled me along and I couldn't put it down. I connected to the characters almost instantly and was intrigued by the mystery of Shayne's identity. Definitely a good book to get you out of a reading slump, to change things up a little when reading a long series, to break up a large book, or really any time. Some advance writing techniques demonstrated brilliantly by Pete Hautman, in terms of change of perspective in narration as well as character building. Plus, a good dose of Hautman humor in "Cujo." Hautman ends the first chapter brilliantly and rolls forth the momentum so that your curiosity is intrigued. I'd recommend easily for some Young Adult reluctant readers. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
