>Has anyone read Rule of the Bone?
I've never even heard of it. *checks out amazon.com to get a review* Seems
to me to be another typical teen angst story.. why do they all have to
involve kids being stoners?
It's possible that maybe these books are compared to CITR because they want
to ride on Salinger's success.. knowing that any book that can appeal to the
disillusioned generation as well as CITR did will be successful. I'm sure
there are a lot of kids who read CITR in school, and go "wow that is so me!"
and then go around looking for books similar to it, such as "Perks." I mean,
if every kid who ever related to CITR went out and bought any book with a
comparable main character, I'd say those authors have the opportunity to
become a best-seller.
