Very Good Book: Jim the Boy, by Tony Earley

Jim the Boy

Some of the promo blurbs on this book gave me the wrong idea, because so often 'coming of age' these days means the book is full of raunch. Not so this book. It's not all sweetness and light, but it never goes too far into darkness either, and never gets crass. I can recommend this for people who have become wary of recent releases. It feels pre-PC. Jim the Boy, Tony Earley, 2000, Back Bay Books.
