The Book Boy

I have just finished reading a book called ' The Book Boy'. The book was part of the quick read collection and was written by Joanna Trollope. The book had a family relationship story line and was absoloutely fantastic.

The book had text that was easy to read and the language was easy to understand. The storyline kept you hooked, you were never sure what was going to happen next. I was unable to put the book down.

The book was all about Alice. Alice thought that she ought to be happy, she had a fantastic husband, two teenage children and a big fancy house. Alice also had a secret that she had kept hidden from her family. Alice had a part time job at the local shop but she was unable to read. As the story goes on vyou learn more about the journey that Alice takes in her bid to learn to read. Alice enlisted the help of a very strange companion to help her. Alice asked Scott who was a friend of her teenage son. Scott was a strange companion because neither Alice or her husband approved of the friendship which Scott had with their son. While Alice was learning to read she was accused of having an affair by her husband Ed. Did Alice ever get a happy ending and did Alice ever learn to read? I suggest that you read this book, it really is a great story.

I would give this story a star rating of five it was a fantastic story that had a common issue as the main storyline. The story just proves that even adults can learn to read. This is a story that i would recommend to anyone.
