Ghost Boy By: Iain Lawrence

Ok, its the last day of the month. I may as well get my rear in gear, and post another reveiw....
Ghost boy is about an Ablino boy who cant see very well because his eyes twitch around in their sockets so much. He cant heelp it. they just do. The only things he can actually see are very brightly colored, and even then he has problems sometimes focusing on them. He lives wiht his mother, ans his Stepfather, and waits anxiously for his older brother to come home from War. (Assumedly, his brother, who besides his dog is the only one he has ever met who truly understands him, is dead) When the circus comes to town, he tries to run away to join it, but they move on too fast. he decides to follow them because he cant stand the thought of one more day of cruel ridicule from the children in town. The rest of the book follows his life in the circus as he graduates from a freakshow attraction to an elephant trainer.
This book was depressing, and frankly, I hated it. True, it does have an interesting storyline, but the fact that it was so over the top all the time turned me off right away. i finished it, because it DID hold the attention really well. i would never read it again though. (Sorry to all of you who loved this, please don't kill me. It si only an opinion.)
