This book was amazing!!! I read this book in only a few hours because it hurt to put it down.( it is a very addicting book) This book is about a boys journey through his abusive childhood. It is a sad story and some people I know that have read it cried but I love this book. Also what was interesting about this book is that when the boy in the story had feelings you had those feelings. (if he was mad you were mad!!! if he was sad you were sad) This book is really easy to get into.
