“Gripping read, but the ending fell a bit short of my expectations. Interesting premise, but there was a lack of tightness to the story in the end”

Yes | No“one of these books like the mark haddon strange incident... or life of pi where a young narrator wise beyond his years makes for great company. the intimacy is the hook here and i can see why the film director anthony minghella was going to cinematize this tale before his tonsils were discovered to be cancerous. this dark novel seems in stark contrast to the bright number one detective agency in botswana that also was to be filmed by the director. perhaps it was. i start to see a pattern with the highsmith, these two, the english patient. all books that i have enjoyed. and which use light to reveal and disguise.”

“I found myself captivated by this story. I couldn't put it down, I wanted to know the answers. I totally recommend this one for someone who might be in the mood for an eerie, supernatural thriller. ”

“For some reason, a lot of my favorite books have to do with kids who keep getting hurt. Whats up with that? This one is one of those, and I couldn't put it down. Almost as good as 'The Snow Train'.”

“A strange story about a boy who has so many accidents as a child, his mother says he must have nine lives, like a cat. But now he is on his ninth life and a mysterious accident at a family picnic puts him into a coma, where accompanied by a bandaged imaginary friend, he observes (and influences) the investigations of his life and near death.”

“Found this book on Bloomsbury's website. It is about an accident prone boy who has a horrible accident and dies only to, inexplicably, come back to life!

A great read!”
“ A decent story but something of a deux ex machina for an ending. You can almost feel the French summer heat burning off the pages.”
