Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 8, 2013
This author wrote an intriguing, painful short story, about a boy, suffering from a very rare, fictional disorder......He can never go out when it rains or he will die...Great characterization, and a believable, suspenseful storyline.....I will adress the typos, there were two at the end, but the story was so excellently written that it out weighed it....Even "Bestsellers", have slipped a typo coming from big publishing houses, and I have been reading all my life.....For the enjoyment, and my profession......The majority of the story is narrated by the boy, John Woodward, and he gives you a complete picture, of what his hellish world is like....You feel his emotinal pain like acid being poured on you...He tells you what it feels like being a celebrity freak, lab rat, cash horse to your parents, isolated, trapped, and no friends......But this all changes, when his parents dump him again for a long trip aroud the world....You see, so far he has made it to age 17, but being hungry for any kind of human contact, he accidentally let's "kindness" disguised as "evil" enter his life...Will he make it to age 18, what he has been waiting for his whole life........Or will the whole world get to see him melt away........((I was drawn to this story because of my profession, and the author's perfect depiction of what it's like to live with a very real, rare, genetic, painful disorder: XP (Xeroderma Pigmentosum).... Which children are afflicted with at an early age, where just a few seconds in the suns rays, burns their skin intensely, severely painful, and disfigures them....Due to numerous cancers, neurological disorders, only 40% make it to age 35-40........))
