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.
