Hi everyone i must share with you a book which was to me fantastic.The play write willy russell, whos know for shirly valentine and educating rita ,has only written one book called the wrong boy . the booka about a young adolescent boy growing and trying to find himself in a crazy society.The boy Raymond Marks is a normal boy ,from a northern family ,who finds himself in a very awkard situation .that has a profound influence on his young life. The book shows how society can run away with a innocent life and label a young person as a character that he is quite removed from. The book is full of amazing characters, my favourite must be the wonderful grandmother ,who even though there is a generation gap, is the one that only really understands him. The book is a emotional roller coaster, one minute you can be crying and the next laughing out loud. Absolutely brilliant. bevs :wave:

Hi all bev here .I have just finnished reading this book and i must say it was really brilliant.I had read a few of her poems but i did not know she had written a book.the book is semi biographical and is about a young womens struggle to find her identity.The book was a real eye opener to what life is like in a mental institution, and her personal struggle against depression and the world in general .You might think that, that seems depressing but in many ways it was a inspiration.its super! the other book i would like to share is to kill a mocking bird by Harper Lee.My sister use to go on about it ,telling me to read it and when i got round to reading it ,it was amazing. Its about a young girl in the states who witnesses racial abuse through her young eyes.It is so intriging,i could not put it down, its a fight for justice. Hope you will try these books.bev
