Story Rating: ****
Cover Rating: A
When I first starting reading Copy Boy, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had a vague idea it would be something similar to a coming of age adventure, but that isn’t how it ended up at all, really. This book was absolutely fascinating, and I can’t honestly think of a book to compare it to (that I’ve read before). There are twists and turns at every corner. Just when you think you’ve got everything figured out, you’re taken for another loop.
Copy Boy takes an honest, raw look at walks of life we don’t always hear about. It takes a realistic look at a heroine who is far from perfect – and realizes that herself. The characters are ALL dynamic. Like in real life, the cast is constantly shifting, growing, falling back on hard times…
I highly recommend this story for anyone who wants to read a book that will surprise them, or who enjoys a raw, gritty look at the past. If you want a bad A main character and a story you could easily both see happening (and not), this book is well worth the read.
The cover is eye-catching and offers an accurate depiction of what readers should expect to find inside.
