What was the point of this book? Kids book...no big finish......no moral. What was the point?! Ok, that wasn't a fair assessment. The writing was actually pretty good...lots of build up and suspense. But someone forgot to tell the author that the book had to come to an end...and when she figured that out, she just kind of did a "oh, then everything was all right..." No explanation, no moral, no clean up. What a waste! no reviews | add a review

Goats takes place in the eighties, and some of the parts where white kids and black kids are hanging out are weird - the author makes a point of declaring which kids are white and which are black in a way that is pretty awkward. I flinched at the stereotyping of all the kids at times. However, the awesomeness of the characters came through and the suspense of the story was great. ( )
