Jenn's Reviews > Lowboy

** spoiler alert ** Well. I had hoped this book would be better. It's about a paranoid schizophrenic boy who is no longer taking his meds. There has been an "incident" with a girl before he was "sent away", and now he is back out on the streets of New York. Lots of time spent riding the subway , interspersed with some odd scenes of his mother and a cop looking for him. (I say "scenes" because it did feel like I was watching some sort of screenplay here). There is a supposedly shocking part where it is revealed that the mom also is schizophrenic, although it didn't seem shocking or interesting. Of course Lowboy ends up finding the girl, who agrees to run off with him. And then there's the ending,which I won't spoil here, but... yeah. I think I groaned out loud.
