Of Foster Homes and Flies
This is a brilliant short novella. It's well written and I was pulled in to the young boys world within the first couple of minutes and there I stayed until the very end. Dark and foreboding, it's not a horror story to try and shock the reader but to make the reader think about the torments that can go on in a young boys mind when he is thrown in to certain very unusual situations. Highly recommended listen, the narration was spot on and really breathed life in to the book.
I was kindly given a copy of the book and leave this honest review.
