MICK Foley, ex-world champion wrestler, throws caution on its back by penning this novel.
Andy, 17, who once killed two abusers, emerges from reform school to try to rebuild his life. But he's got to deal with a beery, womanising dad and footballing bullies.
It's a weak hand (and Andy's got one) but he's also fancied by a cheerleading beauty who's a born-again. (Shucks.) No knock-out but a perceptive tale with which to grapple.
