Could not put it down. That being said...not a happy book. Similar to Room. You think things like this are not real, but after reading Jaycee Dugard story, you realize there are children and families living in hiding. ( ) I really don't know how I feel about this book. I found the writing superb, the story is intriguing and totally pulls you in, but the characters are completely horrible people (with two exceptions). This novel is not for the faint of heart. There's abuse (mental, physical, sexual) throughout. The message at the end seems to be that family is family and should be forgiven no matter what, and um, sorry(not sorry), but no. These adults are terribly abusive to their children and should never be forgiven. I can't recommend this to anyone, but I did find it completely immersive, though disturbing. I feel like a good sum up is that it's a good book, but please don't read it. Tengo diez años y llevo toda mi vida en este sótano. Vivo en la oscuridad con mis padres, mi abuela, mi hermana y mi hermano. Todos están desfigurados por el fuego. Mi hermana lleva una máscara blanca para tapar sus quemaduras, porque papá dice que su cara podría asustarme. Me gusta mi cactus. Me gusta leer mi libro sobre insectos. Y tocar durante horas el único rayo de sol que se filtra por una rendija del techo. Pero desde que mi hermana tuvo al bebé, todos actúan de forma extraña. Creo que mienten sobre quién es el padre, sobre el hombre grillo que acecha por las noches, sobre lo que sucedió antes de que yo naciera, sobre por qué estamos aquí encerrados. Por lo menos tengo las luciérnagas. Llegaron hace unos días al sótano y las he guardado en un bote. Como dice mi abuela, no existe criatura más fascinante que aquella que es capaz de crear luz por sí misma. Esa luz me anima a conocer el mundo exterior, a escapar, a descubrir qué sucedió. Lo malo es que aquí todas las puertas están cerradas. Y no sé dónde voy a encontrar una salida... Well. That was.... disturbing. Also, that line about finding hope and light....nope! No hope, no light, no nothing, bleakness and despair. And really really sick and twisted people. It was compelling in spite of that, I got sucked in and kept reading (often in horror) all night. So, well done, but I can't quite say "liked" is a word that applies here. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A haunting and hopeful tale of discovering light in even the darkest of places.For his whole life, the boy has lived underground, in a basement with his parents, grandmother, sister, and brother. Before he was born, his family was disfigured by a fire. His sister wears a white mask to cover her burns.He spends his hours with his cactus, reading his book on insects, or touching the one ray of sunlight that filters in through a crack in the ceiling. Ever since his sister had a baby, everyone's been acting very strangely. The boy begins to wonder why they never say who the father is, about what happened before his own birth, about why they're shut away.A few days ago, some fireflies arrived in the basement. His grandma said, There's no creature more amazing than one that can make its own light. That light makes the boy want to escape, to know the outside world. Problem is, all the doors are locked. And he doesn't know how to get out.... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
