A quick YA read that reminded me of Shakespeare in Love. It would be a great introduction to Shakespeare for a middle school kid. Widge is an orphan who has yet to find a kind family. He is tasked with stealing a script of Hamlet and discovers a love of acting instead. There’s a quick pace with a few twists and it’s an easy read. I’d recommend for 5th or 6th grade.

The premise of the book was interesting enough for me to request it. However, the constant karate references just broke my interest. It also didn't seem to really fit the young adult category. The story within a story was somewhat intriguing and I found the historical detail by the author to be well done. All in all, it's only an 'okay' read.

I found “The Devil to Pay” entertaining and engaging, although not very complex. But that’s OK, it kept my interest, had an exciting plot development, believable characters and offered me a nostalgic remembrance of a time period I grew up in. The author did a good job of capturing the turbulent Vietnam period and the confusing emotions arising from a government and industry becoming increasingly untrustworthy. The narrator sometimes slips between past and present tense but this should be blamed on the editor. I enjoyed the story within a story the journal provided and found it informative and found the story thought provoking. The author weaves romance, humor, action and mystery into a compelling summer read.… (més)
