Overall, this book is rather... interesting. And that is not necessarily a bad thing; in fact, that's the reason I first of all chose this to read. While most young adult novels strive to be one-hundred percent realistic and focus solely on conveying a broad relationship to all readers of age, this one steps out to something weird, over-the-top, and hilarious. Yet it still brings a strong, serious, and timeless theme of enjoying every millisecond of your life: you never know if it is your last. You can catch more flies with sweet honey than you can with bitter vinegar, and I was caught on the honey.
I still felt some connection with Cameron, struggling through life and acting awkward at each turn. I wondered - like we all - what is there in life to live for? What is the purpose of life? These questions have always plagued me, and by the end it gave me satisfaction that there is a goal to life: whatever you would like. Life is beautiful indeed; and you should not ever come to the point where that is not true.
This novel was a refreshing reminder of this, and it accomplishes it through a humorous and wacky way. It is for anyone who is tired of the same old same old and wants something new and fun to read. The end really caught me by surprise and definitely left me an impression never to forget. If any of this seems of interest to you; you can get Going Bovine right here.
