What some reviewers have seen as its strong point, I saw as a flaw. It is written in a kind of baby talk from the point of view of a 5 yr old boy locked in a room with his mother, which I found annoying at first, and at the end still did not understand. Why would a boy whose mother talks to him normally still talk in baby talk at 5? It didn't make sense. However, it did portray the uneven development of this boy.Luxembourghttp://somuch2thank4.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350790763314384893.post-49224641071228205422011-09-27T15:18:45.962-04:002011-09-27T15:18:45.962-04:00@ J.

The subject matter was disturbing, but the story told from the point of view of a truly naive 5 year old was amazing. I truly enjoyed watching Jack adjust to his "new" world. It was fascinating to see the world we live in every day from the perspective of someone who had never experienced it. I have reccomended it to many friends.Paige Chiaritonoreply@blogger.com
