misslezlee 's review for:

The Bone People by Keri Hulme

---

I'm not going to finish reading this book. It's just too upsetting to read about the physical abuse that the little boy is subjected to. The setting is amazing - I would like to live in the tower on the beach, and I want to find out more about Kerewin, but what's happening to Simon is more than I can handle, even though it's fiction.
