A review by bexbooksandstuff
Tin Man by Sarah Winman

5.0

This book had been on my TBR for so long. I finally managed to grab a copy from the library and I am so glad I did!!

This book is so hard to review, it left a lasting impression on me. The story is told in such a beautiful, melodic way.

At first I found it hard to read the speech within without speech marks. It was a strange method to get my head round, however I soon fell into the rhythm of the words and it seemed to flow really well.

Told in two halves from the perspective of Ellis and then Michael gave depth and understanding to the characters and their stories.

I felt desperately sad for the character of Ellis, it seemed that he had everything but nothing at the same time. The love of two magnificent people and with that tremendous happiness and heartbreak. His tale was melancholy yet beautiful.

Micheal then told his side and his tale was absolutely devastating yet dazzling. He brought so much colour and so much emotion to the story.

The whole book was gorgeous, I went through the wringer and felt quite bereft at the end. But I will forever remember the tale of two young boys and their friendship. I highly recommend this one.
