Boy is an amazing tale, a true tale of a young boy, called Roald Dahl.
It starts the tale off, at the family home, before “boy” "s birth.
The start really makes you want to read it, because a gruesome, and in some ways funny tale is told, about a broken arm, being mistaken for a dislocated shoulder, you can almost feel the pain yourself, as the bone is wrenched through the skin. This in my opinion is one of the best ways to start a book, because it really hooks you, you just want to see what other things happened to a great author in his childhood.
The next parts of the story are hilarious, I felt sorrow for Boy in his times of trouble, when he was home sick, when he was canned by his own version of the demon head master.
The boazers sounded horrid, and I"m glad that we do not have them here at St Mary's.
I also felt joy, when Boy had times of great merit, for instance, the goats tobacco, I laughed, almost feeling sorry for the man, who cannot have been that bad.
I think that anyone could enjoy this book, providing they could read, Adult and children alike.
I was definitely hooked onto this book, I never wanted it to end, and you read it I'm sure you will not be able to put it down too.
