Before I continue with my mindless prattling, I want to say that I spent literal weeks hyping myself for this book. Was it great? Yes. Jack & Mr. Grin was a wonderful, fast read. However, while I loved it - I also created the expectation for it to be god-tier. The story itself is interesting - but by far the best part of the entire story was the way Mr. Grin speaks. As the quick blurb in the listing on Bizarro Central suggests, you can literally feel the creeper grin in Mr. Grin's words. I also didn't feel like anything was forced when reading this; the story progressed naturally, the story captivated me... but it just wasn't what I hoped. This is, of course, no fault of Andersen Prunty OR the book - and I ask that anyone who does consider my opinion worth anything (if there is anyone besides me) - please read this one for yourself and THEN decide.
This one defined who I spent my teenage years trying to be, an obnoxious, nervous and restless kid, with twinkle in his eye and a heart of gold. I've re-read it so many times it's not funny. But it sure beats Harry Potter.
