Comment
Add a CommentAt its heart, Sprout is a thought provoking book, written in the unique prose of a rather brilliant teenager. The story meanders about the hills of Kansas like a lost cow, often rich and rewarding, and at times a little disappointing (although to be frank, whatever disappointment I felt was due to want of a happier ending). Nevertheless, Spout is worth a look, you will most likely enjoy the read.
A suprisingly good read; I recommend to anyone!
