balint_l 's review for:
There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom
by Louis Sachar
I've read this book for the 2015 Reading Challenge posted on http://9gag.com/gag/a8bQeNe.
Category: A book from your childhood
This book is a good example that no one can understand each other perfectly, we don’t know their motives, we don’t know the things that drive them. Under the skin of a monster can dwell a beautiful, fragile creature, who is afraid of being broken; and of course under the skin of a gentleman can lie a monster waiting for its next prey. We cannot explore them, we’re not capable for that, albeit we can discover ourselves. And we should, because eventually we will believe the lie that we tell and show to everyone. We will only know what’s outside and forget what’s inside.
I’ve chosen this book, because this was – if I remember correctly – the first book I’ve ever read. I remembered that it was very great, but forget how great. Reading this more than a decade (12 years to be exact) later I can say I understand not just Bradley, but also Carla, Jeff and everyone else. Who knows what will I think of it another decade (or 12 years) later…
