Annie the Book reviewed The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay
The Pallbearers Club, by Paul Tremblay
2 stars
Art Barbara is kind of an odd guy. He’s always been a bit odd and it doesn’t help that, when he was in high school, he founded a club to act as pallbearers at funerals. There’s his bad skin. There’s the severe scoliosis that requires surgery. Mostly, what makes Art weird is his awkward self-consciousness. We can hope that his also-odd friendship with Mercy Brown, near the beginning of The Pallbearers Club, might help draw him out of his shell…but this is a Paul Tremblay novel and nothing is ever quite the way it seems...
