Mortimer comes to life!

Revisado: 05-23-15

Greg Wilkey has a genuine gift of creating engaging tales with vivid accounts of the woes of teen angst. The hero of our story in 'Growing Up Dead', Mortimer is faced with a new supernatural existence which provides it's own set of challenges. Wilkey takes us step by step through Mortimers journey as his social interactions and school life are altered permanently. Delving into this story I found Mortimer's conflicts to be accurate to a teen experiencing life changes as he matures, the dialogue between the hero of the story and his mother are classic.
The one thing that struck me about this story is the atmosphere of the places in which key events occur. The scenarios came alive in my imagination as I read and then listened.
I read the book first and then listened to the audio version. I thought the narrator did a great job of pausing making clear sense of the writing and added life and inflection that enhanced and did not draw from the overall adventure.
It gave a different perspective and reaffirmed the amusingly familiar true to life accounts of Mortimer's teen dramas with his mother and school officials.
I highly recommend this book. Must read more of his work.
