Book Review 2:: Bruiser, by Neal Shusterman.

So, here is our next book::
Bruiser, by Neal Shusterman. Some of his newer-ish work. I expected it to be great.

      It was not great. Good, yes. Well-written, definitely. Great, no. It's about a boy named Brewster. His nickname is 'Bruiser". . OHH, THEY KINDA RHYME A LITTLE, DON'T THEYY, THAT'S SO CLEVER. Anywayy, so Brewster bruises badly. [alliteration !!!]] At least, that's what he tells people who see his skin so badly mottled with purple and red. The thing is, that Brewster takes away the pain and problems of the people that he cares about. This is why Brew always lurks in the shadows and mopes around. Because he doesn't want to make friends. He doesn't want to have to care for anyone, because then he'll be hurt by them--literally. Like, if you get a bruise, it'll transfer to Brew. If you get a cold, it'll transfer to Brew. If you're upset or angry or sad, it'll transfer to Brew.
      The basic plot is a good one, and I thought I would totally know how it ended. . but I didn't.  I
It's a good book, if you like swimming, anger issues, and supernatural abilities to take away things that hurt the people you care about.
