Book Reviews of The God Boy (Penguin Modern Classics)
Book Review: A wonderful addition to Modern Classics
Summary: 5 Stars
First published in the 1950s, this wonderful debut novel from New Zealandjournalist Ian Cross is told through the worldview of a young boy in asmall town (though it's big enough to be the whole world to him), as helooks back on 3 incredible days in his 11th year. Grim subject matterleavened by the humour and wisdom of the writing, which reveals more thanthe narator, Jimmy Sullivan, knows himself. Fantastic stuff, and I'mkicking myself that I'd not heard of this before. Penguin have done wellto add this to their Modern Classics series.
