    Good, but very exasperating
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017*

Where to begin. I'm really torn about this review. When I began the book, I thought I'd love it. The premise was different and I liked Bear's first person narrative. Soon, I realized that Bear is a person who bottles up his thoughts and emotions, keeping everything inside, even from his best friends. He is also in constant conflict with his inner self. But, so far so good. As the story develops, however, Bear's inner turmoil became too much for me.A major plot development occurs near the midpoint. And for me anyway, the book began to lose it's luster. Klune could have really used a good editor to pare down some of Bear's self-inflicted woes. In lengthy inner monologues, he repeats himself: not just one time, but again and again. Finally, I began skipping over paragraphs at a time, because I wanted to know what would happen next, not a rehash of things I already knew. That's just not something I do with a well-written book. I sometimes enjoy wordy authors, but only when they are telling me something new with those words.Anyway, I thought that character development was very good. This book has become a series, and I plan to read the second book. Maybe it will be written from a different character's perspective, one who can more easily make up his mind. Otter? The Kid?I don't give Bear, Otter, and the Kid a thumbs down, but I can't really recommend it either. I'm sorry I can't!

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2017*

4 stars!This is a book I've been meaning to read for a LONG time.Bear, Otter and the Kid is the story of Derrick (Bear), a 21 year old man who is raising his younger brother on his own. Their mom left when he was 17, and it's been just him, his brother and his best friend for a long time. When Bear's best friends brother Otter comes home after a long time away, and Bear must face feelings he never expected.This is a book I've been meaning to read forever. I just couldn't get past the horrible cover (superficial and shallow of me, I know). But I honestly think this book would sell more with a better cover. GFY romance is my favorite kind, mostly because of ANGST and we all know I love my angst.I really enjoyed this story, Ty the little brother cracked me up. I know I would end up with a kid like him, but mine would probably be more of a bad kid. Otter was pure awesome, that man was a saint. My heart felt so much for that man. He and Bear just seemed perfect together, despite how frustrating Bear could be.One thing I have to get off my chest, the excessive use of the word "R******d" (word removed for amazon, but means special needs). I stopped counting after 6-7 mentions. For a book that preached not using the word "f**" (word removed for amazon, bad word meaning homosexual) because it was hurtful, it really shouldn't be using the other word so much. Maybe it's just me, but that really makes me mad...Anyways, I can't wait to read the other books in this series and have more of the kid, Otter and Bear in my life.“I’ll never understand why people just won’t let others be who they are. It’s not like it’s affecting them in any way.”

    Why did I wait so long to read this??
  

*by A***  on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018*

Why did I wait so long to read this??This book is a little bit of a punch to the gut, but in the best possible way. It is emotional and heartbreaking. You scream at the characters (Yes, you Bear), and cry and laugh and feel giddy and ride through the rollercoaster that is this story. The Kid is by far the best character. He is hilariously honest and endearing and grownup for a nine year old, but then he has moments of young vulnerability and sadness that make you break apart. The connection between Bear and his brother, the Kid is incredible. Every sweet moment between the two of them was perfect in this super angsty book.Then we have Otter. Otter is pretty much a saint when it comes to dealing with Bear. Don't get me wrong, I love Bear, but he is also frustrating af. I understand his character and why he does the things he does, but I also screamed at him a few times because I wanted him to just take down his walls with Otter. Otter complemented this story well and was a good force in Bear and the Kids life.And I cannot end this review without commenting on the writing. For me, Tj Klune writing is the epitome of how a story can be written to make you FEEL. I do not know how to explain it other than, the way he writes and composes a story makes me feel like I am staring into his characters souls and that his characters are a part of me. So basically, it makes the emotions the book invokes that much powerful but also it makes you love the story, no matter how sad, that much more.
