Poor wee lad. After reading the sample I dreaded what he'd face later in the story. Thanks for your helpful review, you've ensured readers need to be prepared to learn more about his misfortune. It's interesting to see a book that deals with child abuse and social deprivation in the 1960s. So far removed from the era of The Beatles, Swinging 60s and such like.Saoirse200 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2013, 23:10...a very difficult thing to read about such disturbing issues such as child-molestation or abuse especially from young Johns perspective because he had such an innocent outlook on things; the issues that are in this book gave an even bigger impact on the reader because of Johns perspective.
...it offers an insight into Johns heart-breaking childhood which will make you appreciate all that you have a lot more, The Boy who Lived with Ghosts is definitely a worthwhile read.
His innocence and childhood logic made him so vulnerable.
