Books Now Available: Spud
October 04, 2007
Back in early August I reviewed Spud, by John van de Ruit. I called it "laugh out loud funny", and defined it thus:
"Told in diary and letter format, Spud tells of John (Spud) Milton's first year at an elite boys' boarding school in 1990 South Africa. Spud comes from a family that edges beyond quirky into the realm of dysfunctional, though he himself is fairly normal."
Fans seeking a coming of age story with humor and heart (and not afraid of a little teen male crudeness) should look no further.
