Any additional comments?
It goes to show that not all books involving children are all sweetness and light, fluffy stories. I found myself getting angry at times with the dad, and sick of Billy and his obsession with snails. I also felt that the dad wasn't a good dad and Social services should've been involved. I didn't always find it an easy listen and it is certainly a book that explores how the minds of children work and The author wasn't afraid to go to dark places.
