Boy A

Boy A
This isn’t a well formatted book. Infact the only reason I bought it, is because its going to be aired on TV shortly and is loosely based on the story surrounding a famous case in the UK involving a couple of child killers. Boy A has shortish chapters and about 250 pages, but that’s all… everything else is standard. Loads of descriptive text with blocky paragraphs throughout… plus my ultimate pet hate, a small font. With a small font everything else is useless, the kerning and linespacing is irrelavant. For me this is a hard read and I know I’ll probably get distracted by something more spaciously laid out… however its saving grace is the tv series, ‘if’ I get to catch it…. I’m sure i’ll continue reading the book, just to keep up with it, otherwise, this book is probably doomed. Keep an eye out for the TV series, if you like it, buy the book.
