Book Reviews of Birdy
Book Review: A Boy Who is Obsessed with Birds
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful novel about a boy who, in many ways, is bird-like. He thinks he is a bird and wants to fly. His obsession with birds ultimately lands him in a psychiatric institution after World War I. This book is told partially through the eyes of a friend who tries to revive him from his catatonic birdlike state.
The writing is beautiful and this book is one to be treasured.
