review 1: The Boy from the Woods starts off seeming as though it might be just an ordinary YA romance, but ultimately becomes something stranger, more interesting and more complex. In her second full-length English language novel, Minkman combines folklore and fantasy with surprising elements of mystery and suspense. Every time I thought I knew what kind of book I was reading and how it would turn out, the story took another twist.Minkman’s writing style is evocative; her scene setting is haunting and immersive. It was easy to slip into Julia’s world and to fall in love with her and the other characters. Julia has more depth than is sadly typical for YA heroines, and Michael is an interesting puzzle. The snippets of poetry throughout the book were beautiful, too.The Boy fro... morem the Woods is a wonderful addition to Minkman’s English language titles, and highly recommended for readers of YA romance.
review 2: I always know that I have found a good book when it haunts me the days after finishing it, and The Boy From the Woods has done just that. It is such a beautiful story about young love. While reading it, I actually got butterflies in my stomach when reading about Julia and Michael. And of course, I cried right along with Julia as well. The story is true fiction, but the author made it seem so real. I found myself Googling the places in the story, and may even attempt to make a Radler. Even the language used was true to the age of the characters (I did have to look up dafuq on urban dictionary – I’m in my thirties after all). I just really enjoyed this story so much and wish I could read it all over again for the first time. less
