THE DEAD FATHER'S CLUB
BOOK REVIEW | YOUR ENGLISH TEACHER HATES THIS BOOK
Why? The entire book is grammatically incorrect. "!" "." and "?" are the only punctuation marks.
Ok, so your English teacher might not really hate this one, but I loved it. It's incredibly unique and unlike any other book I've ever read. For a bunch of reasons. Like the fact that it's narrated by a eleven-year-old whose father was killed. And the dad-ghost wants the son to kill his uncle. And the uncle wants to marry the kid's mom. And the dad-ghost gets the "terrors." And adults say the story is a modern version of Shakespeare's Hamlet...
What really got me was the narrative... told in first person, this book sounds exactly like how someone thinks inside their own head (especially an eleven-year-old boy). It does take a little while to get used to it, though... but only a few pages.
Grab this book as fast as you can... there's a copy in the library. Read more about the book if you need to... Here's its Google Books page. Enjoy!
