Today I read...

Today in English class I read The Book Of  Lost Things, by John Connolly. So far, as in the first 21 pages, the main Protagonist, David, has already lost his mother and has found out that he hears books talking to him. Odd? I know, but  the idea that a boy so deep in a depression would blame his mothers death on himself because he wan't "good enough" is quite interesting to me. I mean, who doesn't enjoy a little tragedy with their insanity? Anyway, David's mother dies and he blames himself. He is so deeply depressed that he begins to have fainting spells, starting when he first sees his father kiss another woman, these fainting spells send he and his father to the doorstep of a child psychologist; who is trained in the science of how grieving children's minds work. While in the office of Dr. Moberley, David  hears the books on Dr. Moberley's bookshelf talking to him. Instead of telling the Doctor about the strange voices in his head, David ops out for the plain and simple option of just telling the doctor minimal information that involves nothing personal. I wonder what will happen to David down the road. Will he tell his father and Doctor about the voices?
