I agree that this is an easy read. (  ) jtippett | Apr 15, 2008 |  On the good side, it's easy reading. The 70s thing seemed a bit forced, especially the Star Wars dialogue (which seemed more Empire, but that pegs me as a geek more than anything.) The ending seemed very abrupt, which makes me wonder if there's a second book in the works. ( ) kcarp | Feb 5, 2008 | April is blond and blue-eyed in an Italian neighborhood populated by traditional Italian families, some of them with connections -- not the internet kind. In a summer soundtracked by Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, the Grateful Dead and the Who, and punctuated by books such as the Exorcist, Edgar Allen Poe's the Tell Tale Heart, S.E. Hinton's the Outsiders, etc. April plays tennis, goes on her first real date, babysits for younger brother Sammy, and tries to keep older brother Matt out of trouble with the local crime boss's daughter. Young romance mingles with serious subjects. A closet intellectual, and far more of a good girl than her protective parents think, it's fun to peer over Alice's shoulder as she confronts suspected mobsters, blushes beet red around her braces, has her first kiss, and discovers that in her own way, she's more swan than ugly duckling.
