As you have clearly seen from my review I liked this one a lot and am a little sorry it hasn't received as much attention as I think (ha!) it deserves. It was shortlisted for a few prizes, though, so that's a start!

I've added links at the end of my post, if you're interested.<br /><br />Jenny- how crazy! I was thinking of those books about feral children, myself. I haven't read any lately (until now) but they've always fascinated me.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-22469396565560897322010-07-19T19:27:47.383-04:002010-07-19T19:27:47.383-04:00Oh, how odd.

I dreamed last night that I read a review on your blog about a wild boy--like those books you reviewed a while ago about kids raised by wolves and whatnot.

I might think this is one that I won't be able to read -- don't get me wrong, I'm all about dark and disturbing (just reviewed Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn and that is twisted!), but this one doesn't seem like I would feel comfortable reading it. I may have to pass, and I hate doing that! :(Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-58808035912799709802010-07-19T13:12:12.312-04:002010-07-19T13:12:12.312-04:00There are scenes worse that those bits I described...There are scenes worse that those bits I described.
