Project X
Project X: A Novel | Jim Shepard
1 post | 5 read | 2 to read
In the wilderness of junior high, Edwin Hanratty is at the bottom of the food chain. His teachers find him a nuisance. His fellow students consider him prey. And although his parents are not oblivious to his troubles, they can't quite bring themselves to fathom the ruthless forces that demoralize him daily. Sharing in these schoolyard indignities is his only friend, Flake. Branded together as misfits, their fury simmers quietly in the hallways, classrooms, and at home, until an unthinkable idea offers them a spectacular and terrifying release. From Jim Shepard, one of the most enduring and influential novelists writing today, comes an unflinching look into the heart and soul of adolescence. Tender and horrifying, prescient and moving, Project X will not easily be forgotten.

I was so excited to read this, but now I'm kind of upset that I did. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was good up until the end. It absolutely ruined it for me. I can see what the author was going for, but it left me with too many questions. It just felt so abrupt and rushed at the end. It didn't even feel like there was any value from reading this at all. This gets 2 stars from me.

KateFulfordAuthor @blondie May I recommend my debut, Kayla? Pacy, laugh out loud funny and more. Check my bio for sample chapters and to assess other reviews on Goodreads. Thanks, Kate 6y
