Comfort by Carolee Dean

After hundreds of promises I made to my lil sis, yesterday, we finally made it to the National Library. I am terrible in searching a good book to read, there is always a case of me borrowing some books, then ended up didn't read any of it.. haha~ I'm more to thriller books, but, I fav teen story rather than adult. But, I found a book that interesting, yeah, it got me to finish it until midnight... I was stuck with the book, all the time...


The novel wasn't that awesome, just, it is a good book to tag along... The words n sentences, are easy for me, I am not lost in translation (I am no good in English) . And I can feel that I was the main character, I am struggling in each chapter of that book... Anyway, if anyone to try to read it, I can tell you, It is an interesting book...

here is a review by Cynthia Leitich Smith,

"How had I not already read this novel? I loved its strong Texas setting and the fluid and thematic integration of poetry and prose. I was heartened by its inclusion of a contemporary Texas YA poet Naomi Shihab Nye (from San Antonio), and I think the story will inspire young readers--including boys--to look at poetry in a new way."

Synopsis;
Kenny Williams wants out of Comfort, Texas–away from his abusive, workaholic mother, his ex-convict father, and his small-town life. This gritty story of poetry slams, country music, and small town conflicts coils in a tangle of tragedy and hope.
