If you know me, you'll know how much I enjoy reading. I'll read anything; fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, etc. I read for two reasons. One is for entertainment, the other is for knowledge. My most favorite reads will combine the two.
Because of my interest I'm always searching for something new. On the internet this morning I read a Washington Post review of "WHIPPING BOY The Forty-Year Search for my Twelve-Year-Old Bully" by Allen Kurzweil.
Bullying is in the news lately but certainly is not new. It has been around for a long time. Like most everyone, I've been subjected to bullying in my life but I'll leave that subject for another time.
I found this book review interesting. After reading the review, I'll not read the book. It seems too much of this non-fiction book is not about the title. The reviewer however pointed to a condensed version of the story published by The New Yorker last November.
If you have any interest in the topic you might enjoy this. The conclusion I came to surprised me. If you are able to add a comment below please do so. I'd like to know what you think.
Newyorker Magazine "The Whipping Boy"
