Just can't say enough about this incredible this book. I started this book in the evening and could not put it down until I was finished later that night. This is the book you recommend to your friend when they are looking for a read that keeps them glued to the pages.

This novel deserves a literary award. Author uses eye catching staccato type language that evolves along with the boys. Humorous, depressing, thought provoking,-- it takes you in, like reading someone's journal. He relates sometimes ugly situations without being graphic and allows the reader to read between the lines. I wanted to reach inside the book and take these little boys by the hand.....reality is tough to read about sometimes. Great insight into how the family shapes the child/children and why we are who we are.

Looking forward to reading another one of his books!
