A review by auscanada
Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon

4.0

Had no expectations, but was not what I expected.

Picked up this book on a whim. Never heard of the author or the book but it got some prestigious awards in genres I enjoy.

Took me awhile to figure out this book did not belong in any genre but was simply a good read by a very good author. His writing was fast, fun, and very creative.

The book reminded me a lot of another book about childhood by a supposed horror author, that being Stand By Me. However there is a lot more whimsy in this.

I particularly enjoyed the impetus behind the book hidden in the book itself.

I definitely enjoyed it and will certainly return to the author in the future.
