A coming of age story about an English-speaking boy growing up in South Africa in the 30s and 40s. It's a long story by a master storyteller, so it's very immersive and entertaining. ( ) I have seen the movie numerous times, and love it. And i'm really glad that i already loved the movie, because if i'd read the book first, i'm fairly certain i would not have liked the movie. Too many differences, although the feeling of the book and the movie are quite similar. The book was awesome. I'd recommend it to just about anyone who likes to read. My all-time favorite novel. Reading doesn't get much better than this. I could never forget Peekay. This novel develops so many memorial characters as well. I've read it twice, and plan to do a third reading. If you read this and enjoy it, be sure to read Courtney's "Tandia" for another great story and more of Peekay. Much thanks to Adam Silvers for giving me this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
