The author does a great job with the teenage voices. There is good use of imagery in the book which enhances the story. ~ Gail Zachariah, Keene Public Library<\/p>\n<p>Loved this book&#8230;a wonderful romance that fits the mold of current teen movies where it is a realistic portrayal of the ups and downs of a romantic relationship rather than a sappy hearts and flowers kind of fairy tale. I thought the teens were real and the end of the story was sweet yet real.<br \/>-Amy Inglis<br \/>Barrington PL<\/p>\n<p>Good story. Hautman is very popular at our school.<br \/>Kelly B. Keene High School, 2\/9\/12<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Big Crunch by Pete Hautman is another fantastic Hautman novel, I just love his books.<\/strong> This book is not a love story; it might appear to be, but it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s an anti love story. It&#8217;s wonderful. This novel takes a year and the ups and downs of a relationship and lays it out in front of you. This is not a relationship set in the stars and the lovers are not battling to stick together though their families tear them apart. They love, they lose, they like, they&#8217;ve lost. The little details really drive this book home. I would love to see this one on the list!<br \/>-Brittany Moore<br \/>Hall Memorial Library      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FlumeAward &#8211; The Big Crunch \/\/The Big Crunch\/\/ by Pete Hautman An excellent choice for the Flume.June doesn&#8217;t want to think about the near future.
