A review by leasttorque
A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne

5.0

A tragic, horrific, brilliantly written and constructed tale of an ambitious literary psychopath. In each of the main parts of the book, you know what’s coming, as I believe the author intended, but cannot look away. The reader forges on, hoping for a final reckoning, but I will not spoil it for you here.
