Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon

---

I’m really confused about the high rating of this book and so many people saying this is their favorite book of all time. To them I say, “Have you read any other books?” I have been scrolling through reviews trying to get it and I still can’t figure it out. I have also been scrolling through to see if there are any black people that read this book and liked it. I picked this one up and read it because if it’s high rating and so many people saying it was their favorite and I must say that I feel deceived. I am not one to abandon a book (I know I should because there are so many good books and only so much time) and I maybe should have abandoned this one. I kept thinking, there’s something I’m missing or there’s going to be a moment where I am in awe of this book. That moment never came. I know this was written in the 90’s and it was set mostly in the 60’s, but I can’t figure out why this white author needed to use the n word so much. We get it, these people were terrible and ignorant but damn! Needless to say, this is not my new favorite book.
