Assessment Appertaining To Books The Porcupine of Truth

I loved my last read from this author, Openly Straight. This book took longer to hook me in, but I did enjoy it, and there were some nicely emotional moments, especially towards the end.The narrator, Carson, has come with his mother to Billings, Montana, to spend the summer caring for the father he hasn't seen since he was three. His father is dying of the complications of alcoholism, and one of the things that the dad harks back to when he becomes emotional is the loss of his own father, who

Sobbed my way right through the ending of this book. I think I'm always down for the epic road trip -- the metaphoric quest for meaning in life. And maybe my favorite part of this novel were the times when Carson and Aisha wrestled with religion and god. Also smiled whenever it was obvious that Carson was forever attracted to Aisha, even when that was clearly not going to happen. :)

My first thought about this one is HOW ON EARTH DID SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE IT? My second thought is FUCK CARSON. My third thought is that I want trigger warnings for shitty straight boy characters. What in the actual fuck is this book? It is most definitely the biggest book disappointment I've ever experienced. Earlier this year I read a different book by Bill Konigsberg, The Music of What Happens, and I love it. I have listened to that book three times this year already and it is perhaps one of

Wow, so Carson pretty much annoyed me through 2/3 of the book regarding the way his love interest at aisha interacted with their friendship... BUT BUT BUT, I have say that It payed off! since I was so invested in the plot from the first to the final page, and BOY, I was really surprised by the revelations within the "misteries", and happy overall. I didn't think I would end up classifying this one as "queer litetature", but I did, it really made my gay heart feel embraced as queer topics +

Last year I read a Bill Konigsberg novel for the first time. OPENLY STRAIGHT was a good summer read, but not one of my favorites of the year or anything. His recent release, THE PORCUPINE OF TRUTH, still caught my attention with its adorable cover and a blurb that promised an epic road trip.The story starts when Carson's mom leaves him at the zoo. They've come to Billings, Montana for the summer to help his dying father in his final days, and she needs to ditch him for a bit to take care of

4 Platypires for The Porcupine of Truth by Bill Konigsberg I worry sometimes that our world actually values a lack of intelligence. Like we are considered normal if we spend our time thinking about what one of the Kardashians wears to a party, and we are considered strange if we wonder whether a bees parents grieve if said bee dives into the Central Park Reservoir and never makes it back to the hive. I picked up Porcupine after attending a teen book con in my city of Houston. I was pretty

You ever randomly pick up a book at the library due to the cover? I do that often and end up forgetting about it and not reading further into it. I'm so happy I didn't do that with this book. This is a book about life that will make you think, hope, and love the many wonderful music references (I'm a sucker for any book referencing Tegan and Sara!). I won't be writing a summary I just felt the need to say if you're glancing at reviews and wondering if you should read this book, I highly
