Finally I am reading a book with very little violence and sex... whoops, spoke too soon!! Very little violence, anyway, compared to my usual books! This is a "chick" book, I think. No guy would ponder the motivation behind an act of fellatio! Anyway, except for the one long, boring sex act description (and one short one), and the totally unbelievable ending, it was a very good story. Somebody ought to make a movie out of it...
Tod goes from KP duty to a secret mission to Tibet, due to his knowledge of the local language, having lived in China/Tibet for many most of his life as a missionary's child. Lots of action, an odd ending.
A remarkable book about a boy name Alex who gets hit in the head by a meteorite. And that is just the start! A warm and loving story of two friends facing difficult times.

"Autobiography," I corrected
"What?"
"A biography is when you write someone else's story. When you write your own, its called an autobiography."
"Fuck you. Do you want a drink?"
