Narration In Favor Of Books Boy's Life

In me are the memories of a boy's life, spent in that realm of enchantments. These are the things I want to tell you.... Robert McCammon delivers "a tour de force of storytelling" (BookPage) in his award-winning masterpiece, a novel of Southern boyhood, growing up in the 1960s, that reaches far beyond that evocative landscape to touch readers universally. Boy's Life is a richly imagined, spellbinding portrait of the magical worldview of the young -- and of innocence lost. Zephyr, Alabama, is an idyllic hometown for eleven-year-old Cory Mackenson -- a place where monsters swim the river deep and friends are forever. Then, one cold spring morning, Cory and his father witness a car plunge into a lake -- and a desperate rescue attempt brings his father face-to-face with a terrible, haunting vision of death. As Cory struggles to understand his father's pain, his eyes are slowly opened to the forces of good and evil that surround him. From an ancient mystic who can hear the dead and bewitch the living, to a violent clan of moonshiners, Cory must confront the secrets that hide in the shadows of his hometown -- for his father's sanity and his own life hang in the balance....

Comment On Based On Books Boy's Life

I have neither the words nor the talent to adequately describe what this book did to me. It should be on your bucket list, no matter who you are.On the surface, this book is a murder mystery. Forget the minimal supernatural elements, it plays a much smaller part than you might think.It's a coming-of-age story about a twelve year old boy, Cory Mackenson, growing up in a town called Zephyr in the early sixties. And the story begins with him and his father, witnessing the aftermath of a murder and

I QUIT!!!I can't stand this book any longer! I mean ....I REALLY can't stand it!!!!!After about 4 hours of my time listening to the Audiobook...I'm DONE!!!I don't care what the hell happens -- I can't remember when I've completely disliked a book moreThe guys voice on the Audiobook sounds condescending to me most of the time.Other times the writing itself is too syrupy sweet. I was bored to death -- I felt everything was OVER-DESCRIBED. My God....I didn't care if the door was shiny. If the damn

Look, up in the sky!! Is that Lil' Nemos baseball hurtling to Earth with such an impact that itll wipe out all of mankind?Sucker! Made you look.I almost gave this three stars!Oh, the inhumanity!!I wasnt quite as smitten by this book as some of my more learned friends you know who you are.McCammon is a fine writer; he creates some evocative characters; he lays out some of the most remarkable scenes that I have ever read; some of his passages threw me back to my own youth; he can turn a phraseBut

Lyric it said: Melodic. Suitable for singing. A lyric poem. Of the lyre. That didnt seem to make much sense in regards to a movie theatre, until I continued following "lyre" in my dictionary. "Lyre" took me into the story-poems sung by travelling minstrels back when there were castles and kings. Which took me back to that wonderful word; story. It seemed to me at an early age that all human communication- whether its TV, movies, or books- begins with somebody wanting to tell a story. That need



There is no way that any review could live up to this book. It is utterly fabulous. It reels you in and never lets you go. It will bring back every good memory that you had while growing up. The feeling of freedom you experienced riding your bike, exploring wooded areas and just generally being a kid. One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from this book:  We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right

Boy's Life is one of those books you do not want to end.A beautiful coming of age story that takes place in Zephyr, Alabama. The time is the early 60's; men still work as milkmen and women devote much of their time to baking, though it has its bad sides: racial prejudices and segregation are still actual problems. The protagonist is a 12 yar old boy, named Cory Mackenson. Cory doesn't have TV and video games; but he has no problem living to the fullest without these. After all, there are bikes,
