This had been on my to read list for so long I never thought I'd get to it. I was worried about how the subject matter would be presented, but it was done in a surprisingly sensitive way. Giving the story Jack's five year old voice was a device that could have been tedious, but instead gave a real insight into how the world might be understood by a young child, and how they try to process the good and the bad around them. Glad I read it.
