Got extremely cheap from a library sale. Looks silly.

It is silly. AVL for now.

Released at the meetup.

Picked up at the last BCBirmie's meet and forgot to catch. Apologies!

I was looking forward to reading this, having remembered enjoying Boxy an Star, but was aware from the start that there were things that would make it quite different and not to everyone's taste. The blurb does not hide that it is a story preoccupied with sex, the explicit language could not be as unrelenting as that in many playgrounds or pubs, and, given that the title character is a ghost giraffe, the surreal was only to be expected. I reckoned could cope with all of those and that it might even be quite fun, but it just didn't work for me. I can see why other reviewers sympathised with Scott - Jim isn't the only person/being taking advantage of him and turning his life upside down - but I never quite did and I couldn't work out why. It wasn't his geekiness or naïvety - they were more appealing than exasperating - and he did try to put up a fight at several points, so he wasn't a two-dimensional wimp: I think I just found it all rather ... puerile.

Taken along to the BC Birmingham meet-up, and will be left on the shelf in YBC if I cannot persuade another Bookcrosser to take it away.
