A Red Heart of Memories

This book was a huge disappointment. I only read the first 105 pages, and then I just had to quit. The book reads like a grade school primer: short, simple sentences and no transition from one topic to another.

The two main characters have magical abilities, but don't let that fool you into thinking this is a fantasy. This book is really centered on the two characters' personal problems and past history. In a nutshell, the book (or at least the first 105 pages) explores Matt's and, in particular, Edmund's disturbing experiences as teenagers.
