Oyster
A boy with
potential
By Rosalind
Minett
This is an
outstanding short story that I managed to devour in just one sitting. Rarely
does an author so courageously expose truths, realities and day-to-day
struggles of a boy who finds it difficult to fit in to society.
Jake tells
us his disturbing story from a first person narrative which gives the reader a
real insight in to his tangled thoughts and feelings that you can somehow sympathise
with him and understand his unbalanced mind, while nervously anticipating what
he will do next. Jake has quite the back
story, as he comes from a dysfunctional family who put his safety, health and
wellbeing at risk which results in him being moved from one adoptive family to
another before he ends up in the Home and yet another Home before he commits
his greatest atrocity in his short life so far.
Make no
mistake this book is a real frightener, albeit a book of fiction and a major
credit to Rosalind Minett who knows her stuff when it comes to the workings of
an unbalanced mind besides having a literal talent to depicts things of an
unnatural nature.
