David Almond's The True Tale of the Monster Billie Dean telt by hisself

This book is hard to read at first.  It is worth the effort as is all good literature.  I do believe that this book should become a piece of great and classic literature when time has gone by.  It tells a tale of a child who grows before the reader.  His mind develops in a fascinating manner.  He is a child of nature who understands light and dark so perfectly because he only knows what it is.  He does not know everything, but he is capable of almost anything.  His mind and body are taken over by and possessed by the dead and his hands can heal.  He does not pray as others do, but his view of the world is beautiful in its childish qualities and simplicities.
