Unique first novel,

This review is from: All the Little Animals (Hardcover)
Walker Hamilton's un-classifiable first novel published in 1969. This novel shows a extraordinary and singular vision. Written from the perspective of a retarded 35 year old man-child who runs away from home. The main character meets up with a strange old man who collects and buries 'all the little animals' who have been run over by cars on the English country lanes. This is a touching, believable and very insightful work. A truly remarkable first novel that is at times shocking, dark and even humourous, will satisfy readers who love to explore literature.

Amazing Novel,
By "algeri7" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All the Little Animals (Hardcover)
Walker Hamilton has written an unforgettable story! From the first words, the story grabs hold of you, touches a place deep inside all of us. The development and description of the characters, their lives and feelings, is masterfully told. Bobby,who is mentally challanged, becomes real, you feel his joys and his fears, you become emeshed in his life. I first read this 20+ years ago, and have never forgotten this wonderful book. A must read for all!
