Saint Iggy by K.L. Going


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Poor misunderstood Iggy Corso, life has dealt him a tough hand and now he is on the brink of expulsion from school. Iggy knows he is not a bad kid and he wants to make a contribution to the world. But how do you reverse a life that is spiraling out of control. He needs a plan.
Follow Iggy and his plan through public housing, a never-ending drug party, the lap of luxury and a chapel, on his quest to make something of his life.
This is a quick and satisfying read; Iggy is one of those memorable characters. Told in widely spaced paragraphs with authentic details, the book explores serious issues of poverty, dis-interested parents, drug abuse, and how people treat and mistreat people without being preachy. The image of Iggy will stay with you for a long time after you have finished reading the pages.
