This book won awards for YA Mysteries and it was great. Lots of suspects, good characters, great mystery and big surprise at the end. Just the way I like my books. I'm 72 years old and thought I'd try a YA mystery and I felt like I was in high school again while reading it! 280 Pages and there is a sequel that I will be reading soon! David N.
This started out as a good read but after about 50 pages I just lost interest in the subject matter (Punk music scene)! Book was the 2011 Pulitzer prize winner and winner of many other awards that year! Subject matter is what turned me off! David N.
Visitation Street was chosen as an Amazon Best Book of the Month, Amazon Best Book of 2013, and a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection.
From my last book I read (Cozy Mystery) to this book was quite a leap! Takes place in New York City along the East River and housing projects. Great characters trying to help each other getting over a missing girl and the murder of a young teenager's father. Everything is intertwined as are the characters. No spoilers here, I believe this was Ivy Pochoda's 1st novel! I will try her next book “These Women” up for more awards 2020! David N.
Life in the street gangs in the 1960's - Rich and Poor! This was my 2nd classic read for Jan 19. Very good and easy to read and understand. Well worth my time reading, try it - David N.
