As you may have seen in my review of Grasshopper Jungle, I am a huge fan of Andrew Smith, and I’ve only known about him for a week. His book, Grasshopper Jungle is a phenomenal read, the funniest book I’ve read and surprisingly deep as we get to know three sixteen-year-olds discovering love in the midst of an invasion of giant praying mantises. I’ve since jumped into his dark fantasy, The Marbury Lens , and am really enjoying that as well. Andrew has a real gift at writing stories that are addictingly easy to read and very hard to let go. Would anyone mind if I dedicate the next couple months to reading all of his books and reviewing them here? I’m tempted.
