## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent characterizations
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013*

Thumbsucker was an enjoyable read, I found it to be very well-written and would read more by this author. It's a fairly short novel that I read through in an afternoon. There are some great characterizations; from stoners to Mormon elders, a bleary english teacher and a TV star, and four close-knit family members that paradoxically do their best to avoid dealing with one another. The characters and their dialog sustain the arc of this story and there are some tremendously funny scenes.

    This book DOES suck--in a good way
  

*by O***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 1999*

The sucky life of Justin Cobb is nicely related in hilarious and sad episodes.  The first-person narration isn't self-delighting or annoying, it's casual and honest.  A fast, funny read.  The pot-addicted infant is  one of the most disgusting and beautiful characters in recent times.
