A Fantastic Literary Read!

This fantastic book is an awesome piece of literature! What an inner journey of how the self-alienated forge survival! The youngster creates a defense amidst abandoment by always comparing "how things could be worse." This is not a read for youngsters....but conveys a deep philosophical musing on the impact of our environment in shaping who we are and how we think. This book is just as profound, if not surpassing "The Catcher in the Rye," "Of Mice and Men," "Of Human Bondage," and even "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter." What an amazing book that truly examines the human condition. Highly recommended!
