This story really touched a nerve. I'm not sure if it was the way the boy had been brought up to believe that violence was a normal part of life, or the fact he was so religious despite all the trauma he went through including being sexually abused and beaten and caned by the sadistic Brothers at his school - St Vincent's.
Written in a very easy style to read I skimmed through this book in no time.

i just finished reading this story it took me no time to read it as i found it hard to put it down i liked how every time he and Bernie was angry they said 'i hope your dead by Christmas' i am glad he had a happy ending in the end
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment dizzy_dope, you're right there were some parts that almost bordered on almost funny including the 'dead by christmas' quote, a tragic story however, these books are addictive!!
