Narration During Books The November Criminals

For a high school senior, Addison Schacht has a lot of preoccupations. Like getting into college. Selling drugs to his classmates. His complicated relationship with his best friend (NOT his girlfriend) Digger. And he's just added another to the list: the murder of his classmate Kevin Broadus, and his own absurd, obsessive plan to investigate the death. When presented with an essay question on his application to the University of Chicago—What are your best and worst qualities?—Addison finds himself provoked into giving his final, unapologetic say about all of the above and more.

Crit Based On Books The November Criminals

A current day Catcher in the Rye, and not in a good way. Munson could have made it less obvious by not naming a primary character Phoebe (though in his defense she does go by the nickname Digger) and by refraining from using the words "goddamn" and "crummy" so much. The plot meanders and near the end I kept asking "so what?" I hate to write negative reviews but I'm struggling to find the positive and/or constructive bits right now. Maybe in a few days....

Never really got into it. Parts were good, but ultimately more of a slog than 200+ pages should be.

Usually, I'm 100% against reading before I go to sleep. I'm a natural insomniac, and if I start reading before I go to bed do you know what happens? Suddenly it's 5AM and I've finished the book, that's what! This book, however, I purposely read before bed because it put me to sleep. It really honestly put me to sleep. I fell asleep reading this multiples times, at different times of the day, in sitting up positions, waking up with my ipad on my face, fell asleep.What was the point of this book?

I had an intrinsic interest in this book -- I generally love books by first time writers and the author went to Wilson High School about the time my children attended. In fact, the thinly veiled Wilson is the setting for this novel. But Addison, the main character, is such a misanthrope (and at such a young age) I was simply put off by his ramblings. This seems to be a revenge novel and he gets his digs at his long ago high school teachers and DC in general. Munson is just "too cool for school"

DNF the writing is hard to follow and Addison is annoying. One chapter was devoted to weed! Are you kidding me!?!?

Ive been a bad, bad boy.There are five books on my First Reads shelf, won in contests between November '09 and late spring '10. Its a nice number--an enviable amount, to those who've won less; a paltry number, to those with more--but to me, its a modest sum. A good start. Five (free!) books are nice--ten would be nicer. Fifteen, twenty, thirty would be nicer still. But I have sinned. Thou Shalt Review is the commandment, and Ive broken it. Five books won, five books read, four reviewed. And

So, I just found out I won a copy. Hope the book's good.~*~Well, I gave it a go. I read The November Criminals about halfway, then gave up. Which I feel bad for doing. I mean, I won a copy, the least I could do is read the whole thing, right? But I'm not gonna waste valuable hours of my life on a book that fails to hold my attention just because I won a free copy. Although free stuff is nice.So anyway, my review. There's nothing wrong with The November Criminals, it just bored me to tears.
