‘Grasshopper Jungle is a Marmite book: you’ll either love it or hate it. But definitely give it a go – it’s one-of-a-kind’
Grasshopper Jungle is, without a doubt, the weirdest book I have ever read. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that it’s not for everyone. I mean, it’s really not for everyone.
Grasshopper Jungle follows two best friends, Austin and Robby, and how they accidentally bring about the end of the world via giant man-eating grasshoppers. Yes, that is what this book is about. But it’s so much more than that. Throughout the book, Austin discovers his family history and legacy, and tries to figure out who he is and what (or who) he wants. It’s essentially a coming-of-age story on drugs.
