![]() Irving had made their routine practice of "the shot" so commonplace in their time together, that I forgot about even asking what purpose it served being in the story.īut the sentence carries so much more power than that. Maybe I was a little slow to catch on, but it was right then that I realized the reason they had always practiced "the shot". But then I read the sentence when Owen looks to Johnny and says something along the lines of "WE'LL HAVE ABOUT FOUR SECONDS". I thought I had it all figured out - the lunatic kid has the grenade and he's going to try and blow them up. ![]() It's at the end of the story, when Owen and Johnny are in the "temporary bathroom" with the children, and his dream is starting to unfold. ![]() I think I fell in love with book as I read one specific sentence. ***SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ON IN THE REVEIW*** As the first sentence of the story starts out, "I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice.", well, I am, too. ***I'm back a few days later to edit my review, because I can't stop thinking about this book. I'm short on time for this review, but man, this is the closest thing to "a perfect story" as anything I've ever read. ![]()
