Here's Mine
1 Book: The Way Home by George Pelecanos
2 Words: Hidden Money
3 Settings/Characters: Pine Ridge - the Juvenile Detention Center where many of the character meet each other, Chris - the main character. He is a troubled teen who turns into a young man trying to make the right decisions, Thomas Flynn - Chris' dad. He is dealing with the loss of a dream
4Likes/Dislikes: 1. Loved the way the story was told. I wouldn't really call this a mystery or a thriller. It was a father/son novel. 2. I enjoyed the characters. There were quite a few in this book, but I never got them confused. They didn't all have a happy, predictable ending. 3. I liked the realistic stories. Everyone doesn't start living life right and making good decisions. This book showed that. 4. I liked that the narrator switched throughout the book. It added a lot of depth.
5 Stars or Less: 4.5. I read this in 2 sittings. It was hard to put down.
Good to hear that you liked this one. I have it sitting on the shelf, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks to Kaye, I just discovered your meme and posted by first effort here. To be honest, I'm going to use it to "knock off" some reviews I need to get done and don't have time to write "full-fledged" reviews for!!! It is a nice little format you came up with so thanks!
