Teen boy raped. i Name that Book (juli 2010)

Recensioner

This book broke my heart. I was shocked and horrified, as well as saddened, how the police treated him. Just because he was male and had muscles, they were skeptical. Unfortunately, I know from personal experience that victims of violence are often treated as though they are in the wrong.
The author kept tugging at the heart strings as the book went on and I read how this teen tried to cope with what had happened. I feel like the author really knew what might be going on in someone's head after such an instance.

I'm surprised with all the fantasy and werewolf craze this book hasn't made a comeback. It was published a little too early to match with the shape-shifter craze.

A slim but excellent portrait of the impact of sexual assault on an adolescent boy. People tend to forget that men can be raped too, and not just in prison. When it happens, the shame and the sense of isolation are usually much worse than it would be for a woman. I thought Grady's misery and silence was very well-handled, and the supporting characters were also fully fleshed out and not just flat indistinguishable paper dolls like they are in a lot of YA books about high school students.
