Let No One Get Hurt A Novel Jon Pineda Books

When an author makes a novel seem real then I think it is good. I liked the descriptions and the way he developed the characters. It was a bit of a quirky tale, maybe something one might have experienced in the 1960's, but I enjoyed it. The story made me try to remember myself, developing into a young woman. I wonder if I would have been as self confident and self sufficient. I like the short sections as each one created part of the patchwork of its quilt. I think I would like to read Mr. Pineda's memoir because he seems to be an interesting person and would like to know more about how he became what appears to be a blossoming young writer.

Let No One Get Hurt A Novel Jon Pineda Books Reviews

By far, one of the most beautiful and moving novels I've read in a very long time. Pearl is resilient yet vulnerable. Her voice is captivating. The language and landscape are precise yet dreamy. This book deserves a wide audience, and I truly hope it gets one!
This is about the underclass or other class as some have termed it. Pearl is a terrific character, her father not so much. Living in an abandoned boathouse with three men is not a recipe for a positive existence for a 15 year old girl but things only get worse when she meets Mason, whose father owns the land. The writing is indeed poetic and tight, sometimes to a fault. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. This is for fans of literary fiction.
I really loved reading this book. I read it in one sitting and loved being swept away. The prose is poetical and the setting is magical. Pearl's father has lost his job, their house and they are now living in a boathouse along the river with another Father and Son and her dog Marianne Moore. All three adults seem a little lost and Pearl is trying to find her way in this new world. Then she meets a boy from the Country Club set and begins to have dreams. Enjoy losing yourself in this southern coming of age novel.
Sometimes I really wish some books did not have to be this violent – physically, emotionally or mentally. But I also think sometimes we need to show that violence for what the world is and art does imitate life after all. “Let’s No One Get Hurt” is so redemptive and yet somehow seemed so dark as it progressed. The writing is raw, visceral and yet so tender in so many places that you can almost sense the attachment between the young girl and the three men she lives with. We after all make our own home, where we find it.

Fifteen-year-old Pearl lives in an abandoned boathouse with her father – a disgraced college professor and two other men, deep in the American South. All four live on the margins and make do with what they can. There is a sense of weird kind of family but each of them looks after the other and are slowly but surely making sense of the world as days go by.

Enter Mason Boyd who is also known as “Main Boy” and whose father has purchased the property Pearl and her family are squatting, putting him in a position of power between the two kids, leading to dynamics changing that Pearl never thought of.

The writing is very poetic, to the point of it being poetic-prose and feels very satisfying most of the time. Yet the nagging thought of something bad will happen which keeps haunting the reader. Pearl and her makeshift family (those characters are something else, trust me I can only urge you to read the book to know them better) has been thought of so beautifully, even if the moments of tenderness and grace are not so much, you learn to sit patiently for them to come.

“Let’s No One Get Hurt” captures the essence of power, violence and redemption wonderfully and with parallel stories and layers to the larger narrative. It is a book that will break your heart mostly but will let you heal yourself. A lot of you might think that there is nothing new about it, but you have to read it to believe what Pineda has created – a stunning portrait of loss, love and turmoil in the South.
Lovely imaging. A good story told in a lyrical voice.
Pineda's background as a poet truly shines through in his new novel. While his prose is economical, it is consistently rich and gripping. Highly suggested.
