Carry Me Down

by M J Hyland

About this title: Hyland pens a restrained, emotionally taut, and sometimes oddly funny portrait of a misfit--John Egan, a 12-year-old in the body of a grown man with the voice of a giant, and an obsession for the "Guinness Book of World Records."

"A good read, really well written with some elements of the story hinted at being quite disturbing at times. Felt like it needed more answers at the end of the book and that some parts of the story needed exploring more, but I suppose that was what made the book as the narrator is an eleven year old boy - providing a very believable perspective.
Would recommend but not sure I would rave about it."

"I can't say this was a bad book. I feel like this story of an out of place, odd 12-year-old and his messed up family was written well. It definitely affected me emotionally. I had a hard time with the middle third of the book because it was quite depressing. I don't have a hard time with depressing or down material generally either.

I think the reason this gets two stars is because the work is too subtle in parts and too hatchet-like in others. The last third didn't line up with the rest of the book for me. I had a hard time believing John especially would behave the way he did. The ending itself left me shaking my head wondering what all the point was of the earlier drama.

This book might resonate with some people. But not me."

"I have had this book on my shelf for a while, and picked it up this week for the first time. I finished it in 2 days on a return very long train journey.

It is a story of a boy, that thinks he has a gift and his frustration when people doubt it. He is no 'ordinary' boy for sure, but that is more to do with his appearance.

It is also a story of relationships, between the boy and his parents, and their own relationship and issues, and I enjoyed the realistic picture the author paints of a young boy trying to understand the complicated lives of adults.

A good read, and an easy read. I have read it for what it is, a book on my shelf that needed reading, and I am glad I did, and I ignored the hype of it being shortlisted for the Booker Prize."

"I had high hopes for this book since it was a Booker nominee, however it was pretty sluggish for the first 2/3 of the book. By the time it picked up and got interesting, it was over and the reader is left to figure out the ending for themselves.

The book is easy to read, which is the upside. The big shock at the end, however, isn't such a big surprise -- just a disappointment."
