Short and sweet, but left me wanting
Simple is as simple does, A Tinfoil Sky does not have a whole lot going on - at least, when I sit back and contemplate the book for this review, I cannot recall anything remarkable. Which can be viewed as a problem, yes? Let's see, A Tinfoil Sky is about a girl who ends up in the custory of her ornery grandmother (more or less, a stranger) because her no-good mother lands in jail. After living with bad men to even worse men that her mother manages to find, Mel finally has a place to call "home" and the town inexplicably looking out for her well-being. It almost seems too good to be true, and I wonder if the other homeless youths are treated just as kindly. A Tinfoil Sky seems almost too-good-to-be-true in my mind, and I wish there had been more interactions between Mel and more local kids to get a better gauge of how unfortunate Mel's life is. This book may be worth a gander, but I fear that A TINFOIL SKY may leave readers with more questions than satisfaction. by theEPICrat
