Customer Reviews
The writing style seems reminiscent of Russell Hoban's 'Riddley Walker' and runs like stream-of-consciousness from a 9 year old (appropriate really considering the age of our hero Tom) and once you have navigated a few pages you don't seem to notice the wayward punctuation and irregular sentence structure. Style is one thing- and in this case very funny and intelligently used; the content is altogether too outrageous for a mere 1000 word review, encompassing Tom being abandoned by his mother, talking to the TV, being successively re-housed with his Uncle Dustman, a posh nympho called Primula, and a transvestite wannabe actor (the eponymous Boxy from King's first book) ,meeting the tallest boy in the world... all the while being 9 years old and little.
This book must be read. There are no two ways about it, and then go and read King's other work, take a deep breath, calm down and await the next book from one of Britain's best novelists.
