Praise and Reviews
This is a short book, but filled with a big theme and succeeds on all
levels. The author proposes a society without family and religious
values and what do you get? Dysfunctional people all over the place.
These values may seem in place, but they are ultimately false. The most
interesting element of this book is the author's ability to write part
of his story from a logical point of view of a four year old boy who is
caught up in this messy adult society.
The book is filled the
images and symbolism, particularly the surprise ending. This is not a
fun nor an easy read. It must be read carefully, it's not difficult but
requires your attention as the author will throw in another unanswered
question in mid paragraph!
The structure of the book is very
interesting. Three first person accounts, as well as the third person.
There is a very strong mystery element I don't know if the author
intended or not, but it keeps you reading from the explosive opening to
the surprising climax.
