However I certainly wasn't prepared for what was coming. Every single page I turned I found myself crying more and more. I just couldnt believe how cruel and horrible and cold hearted Joe's mother was and why a mother would want to do that to her child. As teenagers we often take for granted our mothers, I know I do. Im always complaing that my mum doesnt do this or shes too strict or that "shes the worst mother in the world" but after reading that book I realised how incredibly spoilt and ungrateful I was being and that she is a wonderful, caring, generous woman who cares about me alot and without her I dont know where I would be. I only wish that Joe had had the same.I cant begin to imagine the pain he went through. I couldnt believe the amount of terrible things they did to Joe, it was disturbing and very very sad. It made me want to go back in time and rescue Joe from all that torture and torment that was his childhood. Im very happy that Joe has turned out the way he has, it still shocks me that he didnt turn into this mad sycopath who would want revenge and inflict the same pain and torture that he recieved on others. I wish you all the luck in the world Joe, you're a remarkable and very brave person. Ps. Sorry about the essay, that's not usually like me. =] It was my mum who brought the book home, now I dont really like reading, I’ll be honest, but something in my head was telling me to read this book, so I did.
