Teenager Gerald Faust has always been angry. The biggest source of his rage is his older sister, who gets all of the attention from his parents and whose psychopathic ways are overlooked by them. As a young child, Gerald took out his frustration by “crapping.” Basically, he defecated everywhere: on ...
Hey guys, I hope you’re having a great day! This is my review to Reality Boy written by A.S. King. Gerald Faust knows exactly when he started feeling angry: the day his mother invited a reality television crew into his five-year-old life. Twelve years later, he’s still haunted by his rage-filled y...
In the same few days I was reading this I read the depositions connected to the charges against Marion Zimmer Bradley and Elizabeth Waters and the combination left me gutted. It horrifies me, the things people will do to children, and the things they will stand by and permit to be done to children. ...
Reality Boy by AS King was the last book I read on 2013. I’d heard a lot of good buzz on this book. After reading this, I have different opinions from those who have praised this story. Honestly for me it’s a 2 star book, a.k.a. it’s OK, nothing more. Reality Boy is the story of Gerald, a boy whos...
Gerald is easily one of the most interesting characters I've seen lately. He's far from perfect, but it's easy to understand and sympathize with him, and I found myself getting invested pretty quickly. The book itself is engaging, sometimes intense, sometimes funny. It's always honest, often depress...
The blurb sounded quite awesome and made me want to read the book... sadly it didn't turn out that awesome.1. Too much cursing, I don't mind a few words here and there, but the shits and fucks and other words just flew around in overdoses. I just got tired of it pretty soon. I can imagine it might f...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: One-dimensional antagonists and a rescue-via-girlfriend detract somewhat from an otherwise brave story about a young man learning to put his anger to rest and forge a new life for himself. A.S. King is such a talent...
How anyone managed to make it through an entire book of this main character's vile and anger-ridden narcissism is beyond me. Gerald takes no blame for his behavior or personality, he blames it all on his past involving reality tv nanny shows. His nickname is Crapper and sadly it is fitting. I don't ...
Initial reaction: I wasn't expecting much from this read from the beginning, but I have to admit I really grew to care about Gerald's experiences over the course of the story and I liked how genuine of a character he turned out to be. Caveats everywhere to consider in the scheme of this story - and ...
When I first began seeing status updates and reviews coming in from friends about Reality Boy, a surprising number of them dropped the book because it was a book they had to be in a certain mood for. After having read it, I now see what they meant. Reality Boy is definitely a book you have to be in ...
