A review by candacesiegle_greedyreader
A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne
5.0
I would discourage readers from looking at too many reviews before reading "A Ladder to the Sky" so as not to destroy the pleasure of the luscious way John Boyne rolls this novel out. That was my experience--I just saw that he had a new book and knew I wanted to read and review, without quite knowing what it was about.
What a treat to experience this novel fresh with no ideas of what to expect. Boyne creates such a rich reading experience, a page turner from start to finish, adding a new level to his already varied career. As well as loving "The Heart's Invisible Furies," I also was a big fan of his "House of Special Purpose." He has that gift of creating immediately arresting characters of any place or time and pulling the reader into the story to the point that it's hard to pull focus for the regular day.
So good. Don't miss.
