Brother

Product Information

Far away from any pain-in-the-arse neighbors within screaming distance, there sits an old farmhouse. I guess some people will be affected by it more than others, because it totally depends on your level of empathy and at what point in life this book will find you. Nothing about the story gave me something to think about other than wanting to kick the asshole Reb. Honestly, I couldn’t have cared less about any of those lowlifes and began to lose interest in the story altogether. Loved the atmosphere, the reference to the 80s, music and movies of the 70s and 80s (Shining, Amityville), the uncanny atmosphere with premonitions all over and the incredible twist at the end.

Considering the string of luck I’d had with Hick Lit stories, and the book’s high rating among my friends, picking it up seemed like a no-brainer. It got me more than Elizabeth Scott's Living Dead Girl, and if you've read that one, you know just how f**ked up it was. A heartwarming personalised book about becoming a big brother or sister, that reassures a child that there's always enough love to go around.

It’s in a farmhouse where we are introduced to Momma and Wade and their children Reb, Michael and Misty Dawn.

A special big brother book is the perfect gift for a little boy who is trying to make sense of this big new change. Little Critter books have been around since the 70s but some stories are just as applicable today as they were all those decades ago. I've done this a few other times, but it's rare--you know, adulting and life and what not tends to prevent this from happening. There were a few holes in the story, such as a person sleeping in a dark room for an amount of time upon waking does not need to "adjust to the light" because their eyes will already have adjusted.Narrated by the adult Michael, Canadian author David Chariandy’s tightly crafted, gracefully elegiac second novel alternates between present-day and early 1980s Scarborough, a hopeless Toronto neighbourhood of poor immigrants and their disenfranchised children.

Ray has become a high profile global advocate for cancer and stem cell awareness and was honoured with a Diamond Jubilee Medal for service to Canada.And, too, photos of John’s children, photos he sent and assumed had been discarded, displayed in handmade frames, fashioned by Gary.
