De jongen die demonen zag
De jongen die demonen zag | Carolyn Jess-Cooke
8 posts | 12 read | 11 to read
Een hartverscheurende roman voor de liefhebbers van Kamer van Emma Donahue, Het wonderbaarlijke voorval met de hond in de nacht van Mark Haddon en De wijde hemel van Alice Sebold. `Ik heet Alex. Ik ben tien jaar. Ik hou van gebakken uien op toast en ik kan veertien minuten aan een stuk op de achterpoten van mijn stoel balanceren. En ik kan demonen zien. Mijn beste vriend is er een. Hij heet Ruen. Hij houdt van Mozart, tafeltennis en brood-en-boterpudding. Mijn moeder is ziek. Ruen zegt dat hij haar kan helpen. Alleen wil hij dat ik iets heel ergs doe. Hij wil dat ik iemand vermoord. De jongen die demonen zag is een aangrijpende en hartverwarmende roman over een tienjarig Iers jongetje dat zegt dat hij demonen ziet, en over de vrouwelijke psychiater die vastbesloten is hem te redden.

"Sometimes the imagination is the true predator." So true.

I swear I could hear footsteps upstairs when I was downstairs reading this book by myself. So glad to have finished it so I can stop spooking myself out. If you're looking for a refreshing, thought-provoking, suspenseful page turner, then this is the book for you.

Something tells me I might not want to read this book alone at night.

Starting this right now. Stressed as at the moment and annoyed that I haven't dedicated enough time to reading. Hopefully this will help me get into the reading mindset again so that I can read my stresses away.

As with some of you, it's not much good planning my #novembertbr. I read according to my mood, what catches my fancy 😁. So these are the books I plan to get into, hopefully, but I may also get distracted by other books...book mails, book hauls, library books...😅 May the reading force be with me this month.

'The Boy Who Could See Demons' is a book that will make you think and it's a story that will not leave you. Ten year old Alex is a young boy with a lot on his shoulders which manifests into Ruen, a demon who he sees and talks to, is Ruen real? at times it seems not, at other times he seems very real. This is a story that raises a lot of questions. Highly recommended.
