FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD Ray is a boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a passion for reading and a desire to better himself: a familiar figure from a library's worth of books. To his credit, debut author Paul Griffin takes this character and a few other cliches and does some interesting things with them. The most powerful feature of the book is the friendship between the boys, captured in all its contradictions. The loyalty that is so often portrayed as wholly positive has its downfalls here. This and the open ending are just two of the complexities that raise Ten Mile River above the ordinary. Auszeichnungen

the ten mile river is are really good book but getting into the middle it becomes really really bad. I mean its just like the book became trash i really liked it but it is bad. Also they all have dog they dont say why i dont get it why do they all have dogs. Also why do they all get hair cuts i dont get it are they part of the mafia or what. An why dont they say there name they only said one name just one why. Over all i think it was really good it wasnt bad at all. Even tho it became really bad but it became really good . ( )
