Would you listen to Golden Boy again? Why?
Absolutely. This has been one of the most powerful and emotionally engaging books I have ever read or listened to.What other book might you compare Golden Boy to, and why?
I found it quite unique but probably akin to Room by Emma Donoghue and Blue Eyed Boy by Joanne Harris. All letting you get deep into the heart and mind of characters experiencing real personal challenge.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
One of the most amazing effects of the book is the way in which you became so emotionally linked to the characters that I found myself constantly having my own feelings towards every character changing throughout the plot ... with the exception of Max, his brother and their own touching relationship.Any additional comments?
Can't wait for another work by Ms Tarttellin but not sure how she will top this work!This has to be shared!

If you could sum up Golden Boy in three words, what would they be?
Stunning. Surprising. BeautifulWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Golden Boy?
Daniel, Max's little brother being so much more grown up than people gave him credit for.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Max's father Steve is talking about someone hurting your child and therefore turning you animalistic, it is a beautiful moment.Any additional comments?
Don't judge a book by it's cover, or it's topic. The story is beautiful and I feel a real connection to the characters!I'm left wanting more! What a beautiful book!

Any additional comments?
I downloaded this on a chance- I just came across it, had a credit to spare and needed something decent to listen to for a quiet weekend. And good grief, I did myself a favour in doing so! This story is exceptionally magical- it's intense, but it's poignant and beautiful, it's characters rich and loaded, it's story interesting and gripping and heart-warming. It is the audiobook equivalent of a page turner; I literally have never so intently listened to an audiobook in my life. I strongly recommend it!Exceptional.
