Has Anyone Read Sapphire's "The Kid?"

[Troy]

I was just asked "What's the Buzz on Sapphire's latest novel The Kid" I just seem to remember it falling flat.

I read through the reviews on Amazon - something I never do as I don't know the reviewers and I know many are written to artificially slam (haters) or praise a book (author writing their own reviews). True to form the most of the reviews were 1 star or 5 star.

Did anyone here read the book? What did you think?

The Kid [Penguin July, 2011]

Fifteen years after the publication of Push, one year after the Academy Award-winning film adaptation, Sapphire gives voice to Precious's son, Abdul.
