Boy's Life

Wow! To say that I loved this book is an understatement. I don't know why it took me so many years to decide to read it. Perhaps it was the length that put me off; the book is over 600 pages. I shouldn't have let that stop me. Once I got started, the story flowed and kept my attention until the very end.
The book begins with the narrator prefacing his story as an adult. He tells us that he believes in magic, and then he proceeds to tell us about the year when he was twelve years old in a little town called Zephyr.
It's the story of Zephyr and it's assortment of colorful characters. It's a murder mystery, a story about monsters (both human and otherwise), love and prejudice, ignorance and the grace of making good decisions. It's about a boy who can fly with his friends. It's about dreams that meld with life to provide answers. Most of all, it's about growing up and never losing the magic.
Many thanks to the person who bought me this book. It's a treasure.

I know exactly how you feel. My list of books never stops growing, and I can't possibly read them all (but I can try). I hope you enjoy Boy's Life!
