Straight on 'Til Morning

This book was very humorous at the beginning and middle, but the end just didn't hit the bullseye. It was very strange, and the conclusion is totally unbelievable. Ugh. (Don't you hate it when you read a pretty good book and then the end is just yuck!)
**SPOILER**
Come on! April is a fairy? Yeah, right. And what about Jack?? Just going to let him die? What about his parents? Won't they notice their son hasn't been home for a while? ( )

Christopher Golden shares the story of Kevin Murphy’s transition from childhood to adulthood. Everyone can relate to at least one of the characters as they experience the pains and joys of growing up. This is a fast read as the action is fast and the characters enjoyable.

The first two sections of the book keep you grounded in the world as we know it. We get to peek at the lives of these teenagers and all of the emotional turmoil that makes up their existence. The third section plunges you into a world very different from our own. The contrast is amazing, fantastical, and horrific.

Straight on ‘Til Morning is an amazing story wrapped around truly interesting characters. Christopher Golden is a master at capturing our emotions as we made the change into adulthood. This story will join the ranks, alongside Stephen King’s It, as one of the best in its class. ( )

golden BTVS writer = fun

It's very Stand by me - The Outsiders - meets - The Lost Boys. Despite the title being a reference, it took me a while to realize that this was a dark re-writing of the Barrie Peter Pan fable. I'm actually glad about that because it made for a nice storyline surprise for me. Fun ( )
