Two stars for the first half of the book. The best part. I think this book could have been half as long. Additionally, I didn't like the way the young boy spoke. If he supposedly had such a rich vocabulary then why didn't his mother teach him better grammar? They had time (sadly)...."The Room", for instance. It got annoying reading his spoken drivel....."Room". Annoying. I realise that he was only five years old but as an adult reading this poorly written/spoken narrative, it got old and tiresome very quickly.
The last half of the book is a total waste of time....Like following every little thing a 5 year old says and does....it in no way contributed to the storyline. I felt it was useless filler. Sorry to be so harsh. I can see many people enjoyed the book but it sadly didn't meet my expectations.
