He gets into scrapes with friends and schoolmasters, kisses a girl for the first time, discovering his nerve just as his parents' rather allegorically bourgeois marriage falls apart.

The most successful scenes in the book are scenes of family life and Mitchell is at his best as a caricaturist.

He has a better ear for the smarmy and the self-important, like Jason's father, than for the more softly spoken. True for retailers, true for educators, true for the military, true for any systems operator.

One bright day in your brilliant career How right he was. In this young-writer-breaks-out-of-stiflingly-philistine-home story, Jason, perhaps unsurprisingly, gets most of the best lines. But using a child narrator, especially a year-old who is on the cusp of a different kind of consciousness, frees Mitchell to be gauche and shrewd - early adolescence is inevitably the age of false notes and brashness - while often allowing him too much knowingness.

And if the adolescent is a poet as well, the opportunities for archness are overwhelming. So Jason is as capable of the fresh perception - 'Woods don't bother with fences or borders.

Mitchell, as the guiding intelligence of the book, is too impressed by Jason's pretence to see beyond it.

Mitchell has wanted, I think, to do a very ambitious thing in this novel, which is to write a book about a young adolescent - and the young adolescent as natural poet - as though it was written by a young adolescent, but he hasn't quite found the voice for it.
