Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon

5.0

I can't adequately express how much I love this book. I just finished it for the second time and it is most definitely one of the most moving novels I've ever read, destined to become one of my favorite books of all time. As a child I believed in magic. Magic was an important part of my childhood. I always wanted to be an author - or, "storyteller" as Robert McCammon puts it - and sometimes I regret that I eventually lost sight of that dream. I still write, but my moments of creativity - those times when I get to touch the pool of magic that was so essential to my young life - are much, much harder to tap into now that I'm an adult with responsibilities and bills and a full calendar. This book resonates so clearly with me, and reminds me that magic does exist. It's there in the heart of children, and those adults who allow themselves to believe, even if just for a moment.
