I thought this book was brilliant. The narrator's perspective was so interesting--that of the boys in the neighborhood who watched and fantasized about these girls from afar. You couldn't help but mirror this perspective; I was both fascinated and disturbed by the actions of the girls, yet I always wanted to know more. Although it starts off a bit slow, the story really draws you in and makes you want to know just as much about these girls as the narrator does. It demonstrates the loss of innocence in such an intriguing and haunting manner.
