Going Bovine

WOW! I think that sums up my impression of this book. I was never sure what was going to happen next. I sometimes wasn't sure what was real and what was his dreams. And I will admit, I'm not sure if I understand the ending. The plot moved quickly which would keep the interest of the readers and which is a key point in YA literature. However I lost interest in the book because the craziness was too much for me.

I liked the way Bray developed the characters in the high school. It brought me back to the divisions of my high school, the jocks, the preppy girls, the nerds, the stoners, the gamers, and the holy rollers
. Bray's small details with the characters really helped you paint a picture of what they looked like during the book. For example, when Cameron sees Jenna at the party house in Daytona he notices that her hair was down and curly and not in a pony tail. I also related to Gonzo's character of being the hypochondriac. Don't we all know someone who always has the lastest epidemic.
