I enjoyed doing the last book review somuch, and I think it went quite well, if I do say so myself. So, I decided to do another one. This book, Notes From the Midnight Driver, is another book by Jordan Sonnenblick, and might I say, it was no let-down from his other fantastic works.
When 16-year-old Alex Gregory drunkenly crashes his car into his neighbor's yard and pummels a very unlucky lawn gnome, the community service he is ordered to do seems to be more than he can handle. At his local senior center, he is assigned to Soloman Lewis a "difficult" old man with a lot of gusto and quite a bit of a temper. On top of this, his parents are
getting a divorce, and he has to deal with all the other typical 10th-grade drama (Hint-hint: A beautiful girl) that is thrown his way. Little does he know, these experiences are destined to change his life forever.
Goodreads rates this book a 4.1 out of 5, but this is another book I would rate at least a 4.5 out of 5. Sonnenblick has done it again, creating a book that is both hilarious and heartbreaking, tugging at your heartstrings the whole way through.
