Any depressingness was so well-written and enthralling that I couldn't help but want to devour it all in one sitting. Who doesn't want to read the most disturbing amazing contemporary YA lit out there?) There wasn't much gore at all in Kissing The Rain, aside from the occasional fight (Oh, and the murder of course), and it was so.compelling. I read few thriller novels, for no apparent reason other than the fact that I don't tend to do gore and depressing things aside from apocalypse literature and the occasional film (Or an Ellen Hopkins novel. How glad I am that I did! My expectations were pretty high after having heard rave reviews 90% of the time, and it was certainly no disappointment.

Hence when I saw Kissing the Rain at a library the other day and finally decided to borrow it. Review: I've heard many good things about Kevin Brooks since I started spending hours engrossed in book blogs and such. Now all Moo has to do is find out the truth behind the crime.before it's too late. But so is one shady character who seems intent on tracking Moo down. The police, the lawyers, and even the bullies are now really interested in Moo. He sees a car chase and a murder-and suddenly Moo's a celebrity of sorts. One day, from his special spot, Moo witnesses a crime that changes his life forever.

He's happiest spending time on a secluded bridge above the highway, watching the cars go by. Overweight and shy, Moo is constantly mocked and bullied by his cruel classmates. Summary (from Goodreads): Moo Nelson likes to be alone. This is going to have to be a quick review because it's just gone 10:30 here and I have a German lesson tomorrow morning and I've done barely any homework.
