staying alive and keeping people from discovering the truth about his
"employer" The complex format of the story, told from varying
points of view within different times and settings spanning almost 30
years, using flashbacks and the occasional silent memories, mares the
story one that is hard to explain without giving too much away. The
strength of Hinton's book is the subtle yet intense manner in which
Jamie's story unfolds, seemingly unrelated pieces fitting together
in ways that are at times unexpected. With frequent use of strong
language and numerous accounts of sex, this adult book with teen appeal
is best suited for public libraries. Stephanie Squicciarini, Teen Svcs.
