“What a disappointment, so many people have recommended this author to me.
This is her latest Jackson thriller.
I’ll sum it up…Tripe! A book which uses cliché after cliché, drove me mad.
Gave up early, took my Dog for a Walk!

“Based on true events dating back to 18c France, a feral boy is discovered by peasant farmers and hunters in the forest.
Once captured he is of great interest and civilised France take him to Paris and intend to ‘humanise’ him.
A novella and a good taste of TC Boyle, note to self; read more of this author.

“This is the follow up to his best selling ‘Gypsy Boy’
Apparently it’s not acceptable to be a gay gypsy, beat your childen and wife is fine, teach your kids to bare knuckle fight is expected. So when Mikey has feelings for other boys he has to keep this well hidden.
Not the most skillful of writers but nonetheless interesting if you like to see Romany culture.

“Booker prize winning and excellent.
Treat your self to this quick to read novel, it will stay longer in your memory.
A mans memory and feelings are reviewed by him following a surprise bequest from an old flames mother.
The whole book works wonderfully and will be a great book group selection.
Thought provoking and well constructed.
