A gut punch of a book. Merciless but not sadistic, Young Mungo unfurls in a vicious elegy of poverty, patriarchy, and addiction.

This book is perfection, it emotionally destroyed me in so many ways, that I needed to lay on the floor crying for 20 minutes

At first I struggled to get into it but a few chapters in I was hooked. A heartbreaking novel that I couldn’t wait to finish so I could find out how it ended. The book ending was so good and I wish it never ended.

I really liked this book , there were some details that made it feel too long it was hard to keep reading at the beginning but through the middle I started to love mungo , love the end too I give it 4 stars because even if I loved it I felt like something was missing but everyone is different maybe someone else would think it was perfect ( I think so many details and abbreviations on the writing were kind of a problem to me because English is my second language )
