Schwinn Black Phantom
Sue Perkins, 167 pages
Overdue review. An unrefined tale about a magic tree house of sorts, two geriatric guys and a grandson with special needs. Started out a bit rough, gained some momentum and then seemed headed directly towards deeper subject matter of what really defines a person and do we view disability like we should. For the most part the novel attempted to be humorous and light-hearted, and it felt as though the author arrived at the more challenging subject material by accident. Then she neatly side-stepped any truly thought provoking writing by delivering an unremarkable and unsatisfying feel-good finish.
