“North” by Alan Zweibel

“North” by Alan Zweibel is a novel with a great cover but disappointing content.

The main character is young North, a kid who’s qualities should make anyone appreciate him. But his parents never notice his good grades, great batting average, etc. North feels that his parents don’t deserve him, so he goes to court and wins “free agency.” North then embarks on a ridiculous search for the “perfect” parents.

“North” does not offer a quality reading experience. It’s has an exaggerated quality that gives it the feeling of a cheap movie, and the book’s plot is lacking in both substance and delivery. If you want to read something that is interesting and worthwhile, then “North” is not the book for you.

I like the book and the movie, you have to know North though to understand the content. If you lead normal boring lives you will not get it.
I hit home runs, hiked the grand canyon, raced motor cycles and got the @#%! beat out of me by gang members all before the age of 16 and that is just a taste of my life.
