Recenzii

Hill's exploration of a juvenile ghoul and his natural prey is a brilliant tour de force
Equalled for poignancy and horror only inLord of the Flies
Delves beneath the surface of complex young minds, exposing not only their vulnerability and tenderness, their cruelty and malevolence, but also how parents end up turning a blind eye to their pain
