Summary: Imagine a world where anything is possible.
Comment: I'm not going to tell you about this novel. Instead, I want you to do the biggest favor you've done for yourself in years... buy this book and read it. When you've turned the last page, go directly to the beginning and start all over again. That is exactly what I did three times. Even though I wasn't a child of the '60s and I've never been to Alabama, the amount of depth and feel Robert McCammon extends to the reader is immense. I have literally read thousands of books, and whenever someone asks the common question of which is my favorite, Boy's Life is always the first to spill out.
I want you to ask yourself truthfully if you have ever spent a great deal of time being involved in a novel and when it is finally finished, do you walk away completely satisfied? Has it been years since you have read the novel and you still think of it from time to time? Were some of the scenes in the novel created so real that you could honestly mistake those experiences for one of your own? It has happened to me. It can happen to you.
If you have read this book, read it again. Recapture the magic of youth, friendship, and the adventures of life that can never fade, they only grow brighter.
And to those of you who are about to experience this novel for the first time, I envy you greatly.

Summary: A story and place you will not soon forget, or want to.
Comment: I read Boy's Life last Christmas in 2 days flat surrounded by my entire family and the incredible stress that often accompanies them. I took few breaks and they were restricted to food and the bathroom only.
I could not have been more anti-social, but it is the author's fault for writing such an endearing and wonderfully gripping story about a boy and
the uniqueness of childhood. The book is not just about the boy, but about his relationships with his father, his friends, and the people who live in a small southern town.
After the first 5-7 pages, I was completely engrossed and transported to a different time and place. My sisters and brothers and parents implored me to stop reading and take a break to ski, walk, sleep, SOMETHING! But
I was held firmly by the author's magically interwoven plots and characters. When I finished Boy's Life I felt as though I had lost a close friend and I have revisited the book several times since. Many have compared this book to A Prayer for Owen Meany in terms
of the impact it had on them, but Boy's Life is my clear winner in this category. I have recommended it and given it to many friends and loved-ones. I encourage you to read it if you have ever believed in the true magic of childhood or if you are needing a reminder of it.

Summary: A Boy's Life Is One Of Many Tales and Trials
Comment: Robert McCammon's Boy's Life is one that should reach anyone and everyone. Whether through the many adventures that Cory, the boy, is taken or just through McCammon's artful story-telling everyone should be reached. Cory, a young kid growing up like you did or are doing, is just enjoying life until one day when his father witnesses a brutal murder. Now, Cory is still enjoying life but the whole rest of the book is wrapped with the murderous thought lurking in the background. Now do not be depressed either because the book is one of life, in general, its joys and its sorrows. On another note I thought the beginning was a bit slow; however, once you get into the book and "know" Cory you should find it a very entertaining tale, all about that magical time called childhood.
