Representaion Supposing Books Skipped Parts (GroVont Triology #1)
So I downloaded this free kindle book without having seen the cover or the YA designation (Young Adult as in teen). So glad I wasn't predjudiced and judge this one by the cover. I'm going to try to figure out the Facebook link with my Kindle, so that I can post a quote from the book. There have been too many to count, and kindle lets you highlight them and share them, supposedly, on Facebook. Hope I can manage it. Story of a teen boy and his weird mom, his pov is great and the writing has brilliant moments. Loving it so far...Great author, some great moments. I'm keeping this one on my kindle.

I sometimes like to browse the Free Fridays giveaways on the Nook blog. Ive read a few of the offered books and was surprisingly pleased at how much I enjoyed them, so when I was looking for something to read next, I figured I would give this one a try. In the reviews, many people said it was a great plot, but others were bothered by the inappropriate sexual content and the misrepresentation of Wyoming residents. The prospect of those issues didnt bother me and the plot intrigued me so I figuredThis is a very human novel, warts and all. I think most of us would not want to be associated with many of the characters in the book in real life, but within the confines of the printed page Tim Sandlin has created real people that we root for, laugh at, and who make us shake our heads in disgust. In short, the characters are real.The title "Skipped Parts" can be taken so many ways, but while most readers think the title refers to the teenage sex in the novel, and the way that sex is treated in
Occasionally something in this book would remind me that the narrator/main character is thirteen years old. This always seemed like a jolt out of nowhere as the writing doesn't at all seem like a teenager. It feels much more like an adult trying to be a teenager by claiming ignorance of some things. Unfortunately, the book then goes on to explore those things, most of which involve sex, which is really unpleasasnt when I'm reminded that the main characters are thirteen.There were some bits in

In 1963, Sam is a 13-year-old boy who lives with his mother, Lydia. The two are under the thumb of Lydias father, who provides for them financially and has sent them to Nowhere, Wyoming as a form of punishment. The only other intelligent person in Sams grade is a girl named Maury, and the two of them set off to academically discover what happens in the skipped parts of novelsafter the kissing and before the morning after. What is already a complicated situation becomes further complicated as Sam
The start to this book seemed very slow and laboured, and nothing appeared to make much sense. There is the annoying habit from Sam, one of the main characters, to insert small stories which tended to upset the flow of the book. It is basically the story of a dysfunctional family, set during the early 60s. Lydia and her son Sam are banished to the middle of nowhere in Wyoming, by Lydia's father. Although we are not made privvy to the reason behind this banishment, you are left to guess by the
It is refreshing to find a book that does not ignore unintended consequences or uncomfortable subjects. Even so, the author makes it most amusing at times. But the self-destructive and cruel behavior portrayed does occur in real life. It shows up regularly in the news. Some parts have still been skipped. Insane presidents with a penchant for mass destruction are absent along with mass murderers armed with perfectly legal machine guns. For such entertainment, one must still rely on the news. I
