BOOKED SOLID: An admission officer's nightmare

Courtesy of Randomhouse.com Courtesy of Randomhouse.com Pretentious, rambling and naive are just a few of the less-than-desirable traits that describe Addison Schacht, the young protagonist of "The November Criminals" Sam Munson's debut novel, (released April 20).

"Of course being female is always somewhat indelicate and extreme, like operating heavy machinery," says a teenage Eveline, the continually endearing narrator of Hamann's newest novel, which will hit stores May 25. The novel, which chronicles Eveline's life from adolescence to her early 20s, clocks in at over 600 pages, but manages to avoid feeling slow or repetitive.
