Craig and his brother Phil grow up in a highly religious family and environment. What they learn and what they see is based on God. Also the summer camp Craig attends. But on that camp he meets a girl, a girl he gets feelings for and when he stays at her house and with her family for two weeks his believes and thoughts start to crumble. What is he supposed to do with his feelings on the one side and his believes on the other? Can he pick a side in his struggle to understand what is happening?
A great ‘coming of age’ novel. Thompson, with his drawings and dialogues, really knows how to portray the life of a young boy growing up with God. A must read.

Dirk Gently is a detective, but not some ordinary detective. He seeks answers in the fact that things are connected with each other in an almost unexplainable way, a metaphysical way, or as Dirk says it: in an holistic way. So try to explain how these following components fit together in one story: a missing cat, two ghosts, a dodo, an Electric Monk, a professor, an ex university student, a greedy detective, detecting and triangulating vectors of interconnectedness of all things and the saving of the human race from total extinction. It’s a tough job, even for Dirk together with his college mate Richard, but hey, somebody has to do it.
