Official Review: A Child Left Behind by Phil Hutcheon

[Ngozi Onyibor]

The book seems to have a solid plot. I try to read books with an open mind, no matter how debatable, so I don't think I would mind the sensitive topics. Moreover, I am curious to know how the baby fared.

Thank you for the detailed review. I enjoyed learning about the characters before reading the book. Well done on this review.

Unfortunately, even through reviewer made great work describing this book to its best advantage, it sounds a bit too close to reality to appeal to my tastes. I really don't enjoy reading about grave social issues and therefore will skip this book. Sorry and congratulations!

One thought dominated my mind as i read through the review. Would i be able to control my reaction towards the character's controversial views and ideas? I can imagine that this would be a challenging book to read and this challenge seems interesting. I absolutely welcome the writer's idea of letting the character's speak their mind in their own words. It's genius to present one story from multiple angles. But i may not like the loose end. Thanks for the review.

I feel this book is an emotional trigger. I wonder what will make someone abandon a baby. Wonderful review.

I feel sorry for the child. Such a fascinating novella.

[Chelsy Scherba]

I’m not really interested in the subject the author explores, but I do like that he included so many interesting perspectives and discussion topics.

[Chrystal Oaks]

This story is mainly about child abandonment, abortion, and adoption, but it also delves into other controversial topics. It shows different sides of drug-use, immigration, military service, police corruption, religion, politics, and even pit-bull ownership.

I like that the author addresses issues that have become volatile due to staunch opposing opinions. Hopefully this book can help open up civil dialogue. Great review!
