5.0 out of 5 stars It was good, 23 May 1999
By A Customer
I think this book was a good book and I enjoyed reading it.I chose this book to do my G.C.S.E coureswork on and had to review it which i enjoyed. I liked they way it stated that Joby was having a hard time as his mum was in hospital and the way Joby found it hard to speak to his best friend Snap as his uncle had killed himself. So joby pushed snap away. I think this book is worth reading and i think most people will enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever insight into a young boy's mind in the 1930/40's, 9 April 2006
By shimmytastic (Manchester) - See all my reviews
I read this book at school many years ago and decided to read it again recently - I am so glad I did. Stan Barstow transports you to another time and gives us a real insight to the mind of a young boy who is growing up during that period. Whilst not an action thriller, its meaning is in the human relationships and the way in which Joby perceives things, the way he changes and grows up as various events take place in his life. The book is well written and special attention given to language used at the time and in the area in which the book is set. It is disappointing to see some of the reviews left. This is a great book about real people and real emotions and I recommend it to all.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Pain, 31 Mar 2006
By A Customer
We recently read this book at school, and I can honestly say it hurt. No-one got past the first chapter, let alone the first page. People were falling asleep as it was read, and one nutter even tried to use it as a weapon. Do not make pupils read this at school, please, for the sake of their sanity.

My class at school had to read Joby and i can honestly say nobody enjoyed it. It is the least bit compelling at the start, which really won't help you get into the book. Read more
