Little Children by Tom Perrotta


Little Children was neither good nor bad. Initially it captures your attention and then it slowly fades away only to pick up rather quickly as the end draws near. Everything ends rather fast and a bit to "pretty" with a large degree of predictability leaving much left to be desired.

This book has many central themes to it, which enhances the interest of the reader while maintaining some degree of reality. This along with, Perrotta's excellent use of words and writing skills help to keep one interested rather than fling the book across the room.

Expect a contrived and disappointing end along with stereotypical characters.


Grade: C+
