This review is from: Forty-Eight Shades of Brown (Paperback)
A 16-year-old becomes the housemate of Venus, the goddess of love, or so he thinks. I came across this book in an interesting way. I have a book out called "The Wednesday Girl". Earlier this year, I received a random e-mail from a gentleman in Australia. He said he was writing a book of the same title, "The Wednesday Girl". He sent me some of his work and also included in the package a book he liked: "48 Shades of Brown". This is a surprisingly deep book about adolescence from across the big pond. Though I found the use of dialogue without quotation marks tiresome, watching Dan move from obsessive-compulsive fear and alienation to (almost) nonchalance and self-confidence is a pretty sight, much like the birds his love interest watches and wants him to name since he's the only person in the house who knows 48 shades of brown. Coming into one's own is something that happens over and over again in a well-lived life. Anyone who is in an evolutionary phase will find something in common with Dan. Recommended.
