is the second novel of Wesley Stace promising. I read The unfortunate, the story of a young man raised as a girl in Victorian England, I loved it. There, as said, Boys is not up to the previous one. The idea is certainly original and makes you want: a family of artists, specializing in ventriloquism, which is followed over several generations. The link is through two Georges: a puppet of high quality and a little boy fascinated by his family. Both Georges are round alternately, the narrators of this novel, gradually, the reader makes connections, to know the family secret.
I read this novel a few months already and now I find it difficult to talk while I am almost inexhaustible for the unfortunate. The boys certainly reads easy and comfortable but it's missing the thing that makes it focuses on the characters and that we always keep them accurate. Everything is rather bland. Mias let us instead of a writer: hard to make almost perfect every time!
