I recommended this book to a friend of mine, who runs a bookshop, with a small boy about the same age as the boy character. She could only get ab out a third of the way through before she had to put it down in tears and go through to the boy's room and curl up in bed with him.
She wrote me an email saying how she could see how brilliant it was and why I loved it but that it was just too much for her due to her own kid, made her think too much. I took that as about the most glowing review possible.
A couple of months later she wrote back ands said she'd picked it up again and not put it down till she'd finished and agreed with me that it was as good as I'd said. result.
