From the Vault
This review was originally written--handwritten no less--in December 1999 before the Age of Blogs. I'm not editing it at all because I don't believe in tampering with history. For other old reviews, click on the "From the Vault" tag.
Title: Rats Saw God
Author: Rob Thomas
1996
Genre: realistic; problem novel
Subjects: high school, adolescence; fitting in; divorce; fathers and sons
Summary: In order to graduate, Steve York must complete a 100-page writing assignment. Although he balks at first, he ultimately comes to a better understanding of himself and his life.
Critique: Thomas has a good understanding of teens and their dialogue. His writing is effective and makes the story more interesting than it first appears to be.
Recommendation: Yes
