The Outcast


The Outcast
by: Sadie Jones
It had such potential!
It was so full of sadness, wickedness, more sadness, yuck!
I finally skipped about to find out what happens in the story.
I wish at the back of books there would be a simple plot line! If you liked the book, it wouldn't hurt. If you didn't like the book, it would help you hurry through it.
Sadly, for Sadie, don't read it.
Ok, a little plot: a boy loves his mother; father is just coming home for WW2, boy doesn't remember the father, the family has a hard time getting along, life gets worse, the mother drowns, the boy gets more frustrated and depressed, the father remarries, things get worse, the boy goes to jail, things get worse, eventually the boys goes to some form of "the army", and another sad girl goes away to boarding school.
Hmm, why did I pick up this book?
