I liked this book because it grabbed me and made me read more and more. It kept me interested most of the way through. The downside of this book was that it was boring in some parts. Some parts were hard to understand and slow. This book was creepy and I like those kinds of books. I got so creeped out that I had to stop reading.

I recommend this book to young adults because it's pretty easy to understand and it wasn't that big of a book. If you like mysteries this is the book for you! It's also kind of creepy so it's good for people who like creepy books.

Reading this novel gives you the feeling like you're watching a made-for-tv-movie, which i only find amusing due to that i symphathize with the lead charachter, who's a burned victim and tries to cope with the societies ostracization and concepts about his appearance - as he lives in the swamp with his father, and took the knack to take the job of monitoring the census for the bear population in their area. Though not to the full extent - i find some great relevant and personal similarities with me about the kid in this book (sic). However, the WEIRDO is a fine piece of novel for young adults; teem it up with Ester Weir's juvenile novel "THE LONER" published by Apple books.


You'll regret it!!   December 19, 2002
I personally would not recommend this book to anyone unless you like humongous challenges. I got very confused while reading this book for multiple reasons. One being that the author jumps around so for example he's setting up the plot of the story and then jumps to seven years later. This next comment is in a way connected to what I just said but, right when something gets interesting he changes the subject. Another reason is because you have to read 150 pages into the book before things start to make sense. The last reason is that the author leaves a lot of unknown questions at the end.

I think this book was quite alright. It was not written in chronological order and could be difficult for some readers. The book had many conflicts and problems that seemed to all fight together somehow. It shows many different genres like mystery, romance and adventure while still having a realistic format. This book would be good for a young reader who is looking for something different than your average mystery novel. You can really get to know the characters even though relating to them can be hard. It was a little left-winged, as it dealed with environmental issues. Your idea on those kinds of things may make you feel different about the story than others.
