review 1: This was such a peculiar piece of work. The story of a boy that was raised in a room - without any interaction with people and then brought out to be a curiosity for the world. The artwork is stark which oddly matches the ambience of the piece. I didn't expect to enjoy it...I just grabbed it on my way past the shelves to entertain myself during a break but the story'll capture your imagination for sure. And, yeah, it is non-fiction. How's that?
review 2: This is a good book to give to people who wax nostalgic about the good old days when people were kind to each other, and bemoan our increasingly immoral society. This book takes place in kinder, gentler 19th century Germany, where some a-hole locked a baby in his basement, where the kid lived on bread and wate... morer and didn't know there were other humans until he was in his late teens. After he finally gets out and starts enjoying life a little, people are not very nice to him and things go badly. The End. less
