This is probably a 2.5...it was hard to get into and I couldn't follow the story very well...I wasn't sure where the story was going or if I wanted to follow it to the end.

I liked it but I don't really know what else to say about it.
It wasn't what I thought and it may have been kind of predictable but it moved quickly.
That's all I got.

Couldn't really get into this book. Gotten through several chapters about 3 times, but it never sticks. I'll try again someday.

read the whole thing in less than 24 hours, with a huge lump in my chest because i couldn't tell what was going to happen but i knew it wasn't going to be good. the fact that our bathroom light is on the fritz added a certain something to overall reading atmosphere required for this book (although a subway is obviously the more appropriate arena).

This book was all over the place, which I believe was on purpose, to follow the mind of a schizophrenic. It provided memorizing imagery and spot on description of New York City and its tunnels. I'm a little fuzzy on the ending, but I could have easily have been rushing through it.

A small but interesting story. The highlight here is the writing, which gives a good impression of what it must feel like to have a mental disease. Especially since it ties into the idea that if you're really sick, you don't have any idea that you are.

A depressing, yet compelling story of a young schizophrenic as he navigates the subways, and those who are looking for him.
I loved how they got into Will's head, which ultimately was made me unable to put the book down. I knew the entire time where the story was going, but I was along for the ride. Definitely worth reading.

Lowboy, the character, really got under my skin - in a good way. I felt that Wray created a vibrant and real character that revealed much about life.

4 Stars.
At once beautifully written, and truly disturbing, Lowboy was a reading experience I won't soon forget. The main character of Will Hellar has made a huge impression on me. And it is that fact that makes the ultimate resolution to this dark, dark story so heartbreaking.
