The Field by Ian DawsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Review: THE FIELD by Ian Dawson
I found this novel both heartwarming and tremendously disturbing. I recommend very sensitive readers pass; the novel includes a deadly monster-in-human-form, abuse of children, and torture. It details an outstanding friendship, and another friendship that is not friendship at all but a murderous psychopath's control over another. Think an adolescent Bundy, or the two British boys who abducted and murdered a toddler. It boggles the mind.
On the positive side, this debut novel is very well-written, and details the coming of age of two good-hearted boys through their unconditional friendship. I applaud Daniel and Kyle and their families. I wish more families were this strong in integrity and character.
