Good-bye and Amen

by Beth Gutcheon


Found this for $5 at the local reads, so I figured 'what's to lose eh?'
Could not get through this. Did not like the style, where she had each character headlining a paragraph, as if it was a TV Documentary.

Sorry Beth, no go, do not collect $200.

Front Cover

SLAM 
   by Nick Hornby
I enjoy his writing style, as if he's just besides you talking away.
Previously, I've read How To Be Good.

this is about a teenager boy and girlfriend, their families rich and not so rich. Voiced from the perspective of the young boy, with a little help from Tony Hawk, skateboarder.

won Best Picture and Screenplay 2015. not too shabby!
