Freewill

Freewill

Chris Lynch

Summary

Told through the inner dialog of Will, a seventeen-year-old boy who is going through trauma because of his parents death, this story is very confusing. Will is going to a school designed for kids that have been through traumatic experiences. He is put in a woodworking class, although he insists that he should be a polite. He none-the-less carves what his teacher tells him to carve. But soon he starts to car totem poles, which end up at the sight where mysterious teen deaths occur. Will soon starts to believe that he is somehow responsible for these deaths.

Personal Review

I didn't like this book at all. I couldn't follow it very well. I didn't understand exactly what was happening, or even how it ended. I felt that the ending didn't come. It just ended with nothing. I felt that Will was a very unreliable narrator, especially as it got closer and closer to the end, and I believe that in itself was why it was so confusing, because Will didn't seem to know what was going on.

Cautionary Notes

This book deals with death, and also has swearing in it.
