The author of OPENLY STRAIGHT returns with an epic road trip involving family history, gay history, the girlfriend our hero can't have, the grandfather he never knew, and the Porcupine of Truth.

Carson Smith is resigned to spending his summer in Billings, Montana, helping his mom take care of his father, a dying alcoholic he doesn't really know. Then he meets Aisha Stinson, a beautiful girl who has run away from her difficult family, and Pastor John Logan, who's long held a secret regarding Carson's grandfather, who disappeared without warning or explanation thirty years before. Together, Carson and Aisha embark on an epic road trip to find the answers that might save Carson's dad, restore his fragmented family, and discover the "Porcupine of Truth" in all of their lives.

Assessment Out Of Books The Porcupine of Truth

4 Platypires for The Porcupine of Truth by Bill Konigsberg I worry sometimes that our world actually values a lack of intelligence. Like we are considered normal if we spend our time thinking about what one of the Kardashians wears to a party, and we are considered strange if we wonder whether a bees parents grieve if said bee dives into the Central Park Reservoir and never makes it back to the hive. I picked up Porcupine after attending a teen book con in my city of Houston. I was pretty

A heartfelt novel, beautifully written, about family, friendship, the nature of God, religion, being "other", being loved, bad puns and a porcupine of truth.

My first thought about this one is HOW ON EARTH DID SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE IT? My second thought is FUCK CARSON. My third thought is that I want trigger warnings for shitty straight boy characters. What in the actual fuck is this book? It is most definitely the biggest book disappointment I've ever experienced. Earlier this year I read a different book by Bill Konigsberg, The Music of What Happens, and I love it. I have listened to that book three times this year already and it is perhaps one of

There were things that I liked about this book and things that drove me crazy.

Last year I read a Bill Konigsberg novel for the first time. OPENLY STRAIGHT was a good summer read, but not one of my favorites of the year or anything. His recent release, THE PORCUPINE OF TRUTH, still caught my attention with its adorable cover and a blurb that promised an epic road trip.The story starts when Carson's mom leaves him at the zoo. They've come to Billings, Montana for the summer to help his dying father in his final days, and she needs to ditch him for a bit to take care of

I LOVE THIS BOOK. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOVE.I won it from somewhere- It arrived in the mail with no explanation, so I'm going to assume it was from Goodreads, and if so I thank you, and also, you need to remedy the vagueness so we the winners of this amazing book, can thank whomever made it possible.You know when you read a story, and even though you are nothing like the characters, you can relate to them and you GET them, without ever having been in their shoes? This is how I felt about Carson

Not a terrible book, but not a great one either. I figured out the end long before the protagonists did. I found the narrator a little irritating but overall it was a unique take on the father-son and road trip tropes. The last few chapters were genuinely moving, but it didn't quite feel earned--what were mediocre characters on a somewhat interesting plot line co-opted a depth of emotion and pain from a group of people otherwise absent from the book.
