So Good

I thought that Boy's Dont Cry was an excellent book. I had to read it for a law book report and I thought it was one of the best books that I had ever read.

Rename this publication to "Boys do cry"

It was taken back with this book and started crying by the second page. It was a story in which I have just gone through my own "pain" also dealing with the same "brotherhood" who abused kids sexually, physically and psychologically. Due to my Mediation process, I am unable to expose the Brothers name, nor the "brotherhood", nor the compensation payout, but my story is similar. It is a book in which I couldn't put down, the issues, acts and manipulation was the same by this brotherhood all over the world by looks of it. Boys don't cry is an understatement.....Boys who went through this experience DO cry, I still do as a 38 year old. To the Canadian survivors, well done on the exposure of these people and like myself I hope one day "peace" will be with you allSurvivor Australia

A disturbing, alarming and poignant book

Rarely does a book such as this one strike the reader as so frightening and disconcerting. When I finished this book, I felt almost as helpless as the wards which were placed under the care of their sadistic caretakers. Because many of the victims of this scandal are still alive, it would be unfair and vulgar to to comment on any one specific incident. The author made a comment that "Some of the statements of the men were so moving that the secretaries wept as they keyed them into the police computer (p. 124)." This statement speaks for itself. The photojournalist Darcy Henton wrote this moving account with a finely burnished style which gives the illusion that one is reading the newspaper. His account of Canada's biggest sex abuse scandal is not for the squeamish.
