Black Swan Green
Dec. 11th, 2006 01:39 pmI recently finished reading Black Swan Green by David Mitchell.
It was a very well written book about a year in the life of a 13 year old in England. It was sometimes difficult to read this book, because he really did a good job of representing teen-age angst. I would sometimes find my pulse racing as I got swept up in the story.
It's really a shame that old people like me can't really tell teen-agers anything. It would be wonderful to be able to say "what you're feeling now, it's really not as important as you may think". But, of course, at the time, it is that important.
( Last lines in the book, but not really a spoiler )
