The Peculiar by Stefan Bachmann

5.0

This is supposed to be a book for kids. Really? Well, there's plenty of dark stuff inside "The Peculiar", AND it's very well written, AND even though I really-really-really hate YA with a passion, I actually loved these 380 pages... AND, when I found out the author is only 19 and started writing this novel when he was 16, AND he is bilingual, - since Stefan Bachmann was born in the US and is now living in Switzerland - AND he's also a skilled piano-player, AND the style reminds me of a steampunkish Charles Dickens, AND... oh well, I think I cannot avoid rating this five stars, so there!
