The characters in the book were very vivid to me and true to my memories of how I viewed life as a child. I was raised Catholic, so that section caught my attention as an “oops, yeah…it was like that”. I really couldn’t believe how a book like this could capture and hold my interest as well as it did, but I actually did look forward to continuing to read the story.
I thought the book was wonderful and flowed smoothly. Bagoboy’s childhood certainly doesn’t relate to the ones in this day and age. My mother never knew where we were!
