A review by interghost
Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith

Did not finish book.
Another one of those books I tried so hard to read, but had to give up on.
I was waiting, and waiting, for teh good stuff to start, and the WTF stuff as all reviewers are harping on about... but at 200 pages in, I just don't have the time to waste as Ive got so many other good books waiting to be read.
The style was kind of cool. And the set up sounded interesting and like it was building to something.
However, the whole thing about the main character being "horny" over everything was dumb and like it was written by a 12 year old. And, the constant pages, on pages, worth of "confused bi kid" was dreadful and on the whole boring!
Im sure it has some cool killer insect stuff later on, but Im not reading another 200 pages of dross to get to it.
Only gets 1 star!
