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

4.0

Maurice Swift is an absolutely nauseating human being and the moments where people tell him how nauseating he is are the best. If you don't like books about shitty people, this one probably isn't for you.

I love John Boyne's crisp dialogue and the full-bodied characters he creates. In this novel specifically, I enjoyed the way Boyne played with different perspectives and tenses to tell this story.
