5.0 out of 5 stars One of My Top Ten Books!, July 26, 2009

This review is from: Lost Boys 1ST Edition (Hardcover)

I bought this book when it first came out in the '90s, and still have my tattered, well-leafed copy which has been lent out many times, and been re-read a couple. It remains in my memory for several reasons. One is the insight it gives into Mormon family life, and what it means to be a Mormon. Another is the writing, Orson Scott Card is a very fine writer who draws you into the story from page 1. And another is the plot. I'm not really into horror, but this book is somehow believable, probably because of the matter of fact way it is written. The family who dwelt in this book became my neighbours, and I empathized with them in their plight to the point of tears.
