Review of 'Jasper Jones' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Me and Jasper Jones got off on the wrong foot. One of my pet hates is when an innocent character goes and hides evidence and well that's how this book starts. I always want to yell at them, don't do it! However as the book continues you realise this is small town Australia int he 60s and prejudice is ripe. I loved the relationships between the children, I'm sure I've heard the favourite super-hero argument so many times. I liked all the little references to literature contemporary to the time, especially Eliza's Holly Golightly moments.
