Odd Man Out

By: James Newman

Narrated by: Curtis Michael Holland

Welcome to the Black Mountain Camp for Boys!

Summer, 1989. It is a time for splashing in the lake and exploring the wilderness, for nine teenagers to bond together and create friendships that could last the rest of their lives.

But among this group there is a young man with a secret—a secret that, in this time and place, is unthinkable to his peers.

When the others discover the truth, it will change each of them forever. They will all have blood on their hands.

Odd Man Out is a heart-wrenching tale of bullies and bigotry, a story that explores what happens when good people don't stand up for what's right. It is a tale of how far we have come...and how far we still have left to go.

The narrator’s portrayal of each character

This was such a powerful story depicted in a very realistic way. The story telling and imagery was engaging although I wish the story delved a bit deeper into each character. That being said, the narrator did an excellent job at representing the many characters throughout by showcasing each character’s distinct voices. Overall, I throughly enjoyed this book and would recommend for anyone looking for a quick and gruesome read.

Hard hitting story, great narration

The book deals with tough subject matter - but it is an important story. After reading the book, I can say that the narration brings the text to a new level.

More traumatic tragedy than horror

Well written and well narrated, but a tragic story that will linger on your heart.

Coming of Age Horror

James Newman is an authors that never disappoints. ODD MAN OUT, is a story of a young man who is forced to attend a summer camp while his parents go on a vacation to Europe. He has a lot of the insecurities a 15 year old boy has and definitely does not want to be the odd man out.

it's important that everyone listen to this.

This is a hard book to listen to, however everyone should. Even though this book isn't based on anyone's true story, it could very likely happen because HATE is rampant in our society. People hate other people for many stupid reasons and they use Bible verses to prove they're justified! I'm a Christian, but I don't believe that God hates anyone! Please listen to this.
