Has anyone else read this?
I've just finished it in about 4 hours! I couldn't put it down, it's amazing!

I have put it aside for when I have enough time to read it in one go.....can't wait.

Yes, I thought it was good, very gripping. I did feel a bit guilty after though, wondered if it was voyeuristic. But I really liked the little boy's voice.

I didn't find it voyeuristic particularly. The little boy's narration and innocence prevented it from being too dark.

I loved the two 'halves' of the story too :o

Glad I found this. Am struggling to keep interested - have skim read lots of it and am now at the going outside bit. Hoping it gets a bit more interesting (maybe having a 5 yr old constantly asking stuff makes it less interesting to read )
