Posts: 2282 | hm___kinky:The Boy Called "It" i cant remember who wrote it
but its a true story its about this little boy (the man who wrote it but he is now grown up) and how his mother was really sweet when he was younger but then he got a little older and his mother got abusive and there were like 4 kids and he was the only one she abused and she wouldnt feed him so he stole food from the cafeteria (because he was starving) and she found out and forced him to vomit it back up and eat it again
overall its a really good book like its sad but its really good i liked that book a lot
I've read that, it's by Dave Pelzer and there are two more, The Lost Boy and A Man Called Dave. They're such moving books. But the first one especially is really disturbing and emotional. I can't believe it's a true story. |

| September 24th, 2006 at 08:57am Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer.
It's the most amazing book I have ever read in my entire life. From the blurb:
"Nine-year-old Oskar Schell is an inventor, amateur entomologist, computor consultant, Francophile, letter writer, pacifist, amateur astronomer, natural historian, percussionist, romantic, Great Explorer, jeweller, origamist, detective, vegan and collector of butterflies.
When his father is killed in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center, Oskar sets out to solve the mystery of the key he discovers in his fathers closet. It is a search which leads him into the lives of strangers, through five boroughs of New York, into history, to the bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima, and on an inward journey which brings him ever closer to some kind of peace.."
I really can't recommend this book enough. Jonathan Safran Foer is my favourite author. Another of his books is Everything Is Illuminated which is a little harder to follow but is still just as good. If it gets too hard for you then don't fret as Everything Is Illuminated has recently been made into an independent film by Liev Schreiber starring Elijah Wood and Eugene Hutz (the singer from Gorgol Bordello.) |
