I have a suspicion that there will be a strong correlation between people's attitude towards Frankie Boyle in general and their opinion of this book. Angela Lansbury was so forceful as Momma Rose in 1973 that you felt the character would have been a Broadway star.

In ten episodic chapters, Reynolds employs fast-paced, realistic dialogue loaded with wordplay and humor. When he is Stuntboy, the young hero isn’t affected by his anxiety, or “the frets,” which are made worse for Portico by his parents’ constant bickering and his relentless bullying by “Herbert Singletary the Worst. There are some great bits in towards the end but you've got to wade through quite a bit of unreliable drug-fuelled narration before that. But the book is proof that Sondheim was throughout his life a restless perfectionist whose gnawing dissatisfaction was the source of great and enduring art.

Parents need to know that author Jason Reynolds and illustrator Raúl the Third collaborated on a masterpiece with Stuntboy, in the Meantime, a thoughtful, funny, engaging graphic novel that looks at how parents' decisions affect kids' lives, even when they're trying to protect each other. And he definitely has his hands full watching out for the castle’s various larger-than-life characters—rolling down the stairs for a neighbor who’s a “little wobbly,” taking a tumble in lieu of shoelace-obsessed Mr. Zola Brawner, best friend for 163 days, offers support, comparing Portico’s fighting parents to episodes of an in-universe television show, but his folks’ dismissals and descent into the “mean time” threaten to worsen the frets. Maybe I’m being unfair in comparing it to another Glasgow comic’s lockdown debut novel … but I did give 4 stars to Kevin Bridges.When we cannot, we engage in meantime behavior - hurting, fighting, not telling the truth, and moving forward in confusion.
