The Other Son
by Nick Alexander
This book deserves its five stars. It is a very thought provoking book about violence and bullying within a family and how this impacts upon every member and changes their lives. Alice is a wonderful but weak character and Nick has brought her to life perfectly with all her imperfections and I was cheering when she finally stood up for herself. I love how each family member perceives Alice differently, and this is a the great strength of the author's writing, he slowly changes your perception of a character throughout the story. I did silently cheer when Alice finally stood up for herself.
I don't want to give too much away but this book will certainly make you think about what goes on within a family, and I did have tears in my eyes quite a few times, sad and happy ones. All the family members have a sad but uplifting and utterly believable story to tell and from my point of view it left me wanting more, in a good way because I was totally caught up in their lives. I hope the next Nick Alexander book is not too far away.
