Book 13: The Boy on the Bus
Title: The Boy on the Bus
Author: Deborah Schupack
Rating: 8/10
Genre: Fiction
Synopsis: One afternoon, Vermont housewife Meg discovers that the boy on the school bus outside her door is almost, but not quite, her eight-year-old son, Charlie. It's a typical X-Files scenario, but in the hands of first-time novelist Schupack it becomes an acute psychological study of alienated ex-urban family life.
I liked: It's strange surreal situation made you wonder how well you know your family. Would you notice if your spouse/father/mother/daughter was replaced with a look-alike?
I didn't like: The end was very odd and somewhat hard to follow. Maybe because I was interrupted about 10 times during the last 10 pages.
