The Last Summer of the Death Warriors by Francisco X. Stork
2.0
Thoughts:
-Rosa's mysterious death was very compelling, and wanting to know more about what happened to her kept me listening.
-Since when are orphanages still a thing? Those disbanded after WW2.
-A junior high school boy is thinking about whether he can raise kids with the girlfriend he doesn't even have yet in the apartment he doesn't live in? Starting a family is even on this kid's radar? Implausible.
-The death warrior stuff got way too cheesy.
-Is the hippie dippy Johnny Corazon character secretly Owen Wilson?
-I'm not sure Rosa's boyfriend doesn't belong in jail. He fails at all life decisions.
-I hate when teens in books constantly trip over vocabulary words. It's condescending to teenagers, and not terribly believable. Most teens would figure out the word "remission" after hearing it a few times in context.
