This a fantastic book

I loved this book! Although there are several grotesque situations, this wonderful and humorous book is truly a work of art.

This book will make you want to read it again and again !!!!

It was perfect! HE went threw many troubles in his life starting at a early age, and they just inspire me!

I adore Boy tales of childhood because, as a child of 10, a little older than he in most of the story, I completely understand his point of view. It is violent because of several very graphic descriptions of school canings, and it send out bad examples with for example the great mouse plot, but it is educational. It teaches children not to get mad. To get even. I rate this book 5* because it is funny and silly as well as serious and understanding with true emotion.
