Summary: I Wouldn't Wish This Book On Anyone
Comment: This book is the prequel to "Listen to the Silence," which is Timmy's narrative about serving time in a state institution.

Like "Listen to the Silence," this book's strengths are the poetic narrative. Its drawbacks include a rambling, free flowing style that is awkwardly constructed at best, nebulous at worst and the reader is always left with more questions than answers.

In this prequel, Timmy describes his incestuous mother; the litany of foster homes and the institutions where he resides. Why this child is institutionalized is never explained.

This book is upsetting, unsettling and just plain abysmal. I would never wish this book on anyone.
