did not like it

** spoiler alert ** Worst book I ever read in my life! It literally took me 4 months to read the first half because it was so annoying and boring. The child Jack is so ridiculous, the way he talks is completely unrealistic. He may have never left the room, but he’s 5 years old, watch’s TV, reads books, and his mother speaks normally, so there’s absolutely no reason for him to talk the way he does. The story isn’t bad, but the Jack’s narration absolutely ruined this book for me. I hated this kid the whole time, and felt bad for the mom for having to deal with him 24/7. The escape is so dumb. There’s no way the captor would have fallen for it unless he was a complete idiot.

I can’t stress enough how annoying I found Jack! The second half of the book is a little better, and I got through it much quicker. However, I still found it incredibly annoying. Especially the way the grandma treats Jack. She acts like he should just know things, and does an awful job of explaining things to a kid that lived in a shed for the first 5 years of his life.

Everything about this book is annoying don’t read it!
