Reviews
this is a nonfiction book talking about children who were raised in the wild, by animals. this would have been an interesting subject, but the language he uses to write with is very pompous and unneccessarily big worded. i felt like i was reading something for a class instead of for fun, and it seemed like the author doesn't really even know much about the subject. so, i stopped reading it pretty soon into the book. skip this one, there's better books to discuss this, i'm sure.
