Is it horror? Is it fantasy? Yes! A story of bravery and heroism, of childhood nightmares and the courage to face them.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!, August 4, 2005
Reviewer: J. Wahl "jellyjulie" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
It's been a long time since I read this book, but it has never left me. I was so impressed by it that I keep recommending it to people to read.
I think it has one of the most wonderful and intriguing beginnings:
It is said-and it is true-that just before we are born,a cavern angel holds his finger to our mouths and whispers, "Hush! Don't tell what you know."
This is why we have a cleft on our upper lips and remember nothing of where we came from.
Toward the end of the last century-in 1978, to be precise-a smooth-lipped boy appeared in the world.
Doesn't that totally make you want to read it???

This book actually gave me the creeps. Since that's a part of what it's supposed to do, it succeeded.

I read this book when it first came out. It is a definate KEEPER. Needs to be read and reread. Every time I pick it up I get something new from it.Will it change your life? Probably not, will it make you happy while you read it? Yes!
