I enjoyed this one much more than the first one and I think now I'm fully pulled in. I want to finish the series now. I felt like it had a slow start but it's possible that it's because I wasn't that commited when I started. At the end, I was fully committed.

A very honest and well done take on the subject. I absolutely loved and related to it in so many ways. I'm sure I'll be coming back to this one to relearn the lessons.

This book is written in such an amazing way. It really brings that sense of being a child and seeing the world through those eyes. The feeling of being in this massive world but only being able to understand it from your limited perspective. I still wonder whether all those things actually happened or they were just the boy's was of dealing with everything that happened to him.

It feels like a fairy tale but with very adult themes. It really goes a long way to display the casual cruelty of the adult world and the purity of childhood. All told through these fantastic and mystical events. I have no better way of saying it. But I loved it.

I really enjoyed this book and I learnt a lot about it. I must say though that this is the first parenting book that I've read to completion so I'm not very informed on the subject. But yeah I learnt so much and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's got kids or thinking about having kids. I can't relate with some of the sections where kids remind you of your own childhood or where you relate in a certain way with them because of your own childhood. I should come back to this review when I have kids I guess.

Loved it!
