Casper Storm spektre — This book is called a mystery, but I didn't find it very detective-y. Maybe I just wasn't as interested in the "mystery" part of the story. I did fall in love with Omar Yussef - a great character. And I enjoyed the author's writing style. Mostly, I was just fascinated by the insider's look at Bethlehem. I must admit that I don't know much about the Israeli-Palestine conflict, but it's something that I'm very interested in learning more about right now - especially after reading this book.

Timothy Bigham not2plaide5c0 — “All in all, stained glass is pretty but it seems to blur the truth.” Oskaloosa Moon is the story of Moon, a boy with a cranial deformity who is cast out as a pariah by society. Moon is as honest as anyone and tries harder than most, but with a head that makes children cry there is no room for him in town. Ignorance and intolerance won’t allow for it. In fact, the townies, pillars of decency though they purport to be, are too dim to perceive that Moon is in fact quite gifted. He excels at mathematics and has a natural aptitude for mechanics, yet he is not permitted to graduate from high school. Moon needs to learn his place, somewhere far away from Oskaloosa. Fatherless, Moon’s mother leaves him and his grandparents die. He only has one friend, a boy named Willy who has a speech impediment. Moon has more than his fair share of bad luck, and his story is at once comical and sad, moments of humour and warmth punctuating a series of injustices and tragedies. Moon tries to remain upbeat, but there are too many forces working against him. We think Moon might be autistic or suffer from savant syndrome, but we’re not sure because the story is told in the first person, and Moon, although he realizes he’s different, never fully grasps the degree to which this is so. Not even the actions of his unfeeling mother, the disagreeable town doctor, or a few state officials bring it home to Moon just how different he is, try as they might. Besides Willy, there are a few who show the young man affection and consideration, but unfortunately ignorance wins the day. I’ve never read a book quite like Oskaloosa Moon. The mind searches for comparisons. Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn? Bill Bryson’s Thunderbolt Kid? JD Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye? Robert Cormier’s I Am the Cheese? Comparisons may be convenient to inform the reader of what they’re getting if they purchase such a book, but comparisons are also odious. You wonder as you read Oskaloosa Moon just how much of it is true. You know much of it must be, but it’s presented so well that it’s hard to say. Oskaloosa Moon would make a great novel to be taught in, say, grade 9. It’s a superb lesson in the hypocrisy, prejudice, and indifference of human society – a very compelling story.
