Belzhar was a good, good book. It was one that I will think about for a very, very long time. There's a lot of stuff in here. Is this a magical realism book? I am still not sure exactly what is and what isn't. Because there is paranormal stuff in here...but it really isn't "out of this worldy" again. I think that authors that can do that really show great talent in their writing.
Jam goes to a boarding school for teens who are in fragile mental states. We don't know what caused Jam's fragile state exactly until the end and I didn't figure it out until the end and wow!
Sylvia Plath figures into this book and so I was glad that I had read
Your Own, Sylvia. Good, good stuff.
