it is such an incredible book. like moore said, i read it super quickly- devoured it. and i couldnt stop thinking about it for at least a week.
my goodreads review of it: The first half of this book was a little bit difficult to get through. It wasn't bad, I actually enjoyed reading it, but the writing style took some
getting used to and there really wasn't much gripping to bring me in and keep me coming back. But then, about half way through, BAM. It sucked me up and I couldn't stop. The first half I read over about a week, the second half I read in two days.
Like I said, the writing style takes some getting used to and even toward the end of the book I had to read slowly and re-read some sentences to understand fully what it meant. It's because it's written entirely from the perspective of a
five-year-old boy who has never really heard many other people speak. The author was able to write in this style quite eloquently, though- pretty impressive if you think about it.
All that being said, I think overall, this book is very
engaging and although strange, a good read.
