We'll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night by Joel Thomas Hynes

5.0

It took me a bit of time to get used to the main character, and to actually see to his good points (he's a rather rotten guy, mostly, at first), but once I got into it, I really loved this book. Actually, it's nice, really, to see a character that is so...flawed. It makes him more human, and real...not like a one-dimensional character, but a fleshed-out, flawed, awful, wonderful person (ha! kind of like real people, actually). Enjoyed the pace of the plot, and the narrative, and the good writing. But, most of all, I just enjoyed the character of Johnny...much like real life, we have to learn to love people for their good and bad, their flaws and their redeeming characteristics.
