Die vier Jungs Emmett, Woolly, Billy und Duchess wachsen einem schnell mit ihrer individuellen Geschichte und ihren eigenen, von Pech geprägten Lebenswegen ans Herz. Sie sind es auch, die den Charme des Buches ausmachen, da abwechselnd aus ihren Perspektiven berichtet wird, während sie ihr Abenteuer in New York erleben. 

Stellenweise zog es sich etwas, sodass ich das Buch nur schwer lange am Stück lesen konnte. Alles in allem dennoch eine berührende Geschichte, besonders durch das (traurige) Ende, das einen etwas haltlos zurücklässt.

Fabulous story with even better writing. Hilarious and tragic. Being different is never easy, but 1954 it was probably singularly bad - a much more difficult burden than in 1964 or now, and probably also worse than 1924. I will be thinking this book through again for a long time to come. Rethinking something this special cannot be rushed.
