Average rating5

Even as an eleven year old I had a strong sense that the Universe was setting up nasty traps for me, all sorts of really horrible ways to die in which (and this is the crucial point) I would in some way be complicit in my own demise (and this before I had done anything to warrant this particular anxiety). Perhaps if I was in any.

As someone who is british/south african boy like Jack Viljee, this book was exceptional in tying together the true to life feelings of an 11 year old boy. This book isn't afraid to bare all and Jack V may be the most true to life character I've had the joy in reading.
