Book 46 - Killer Ambition + Lack of Imagination

Title: Ladder to the Sky Author: John Boyne Genre: psychological lgbtq fiction

Hooooo boy, talk about TENSION.

I'll make this short because I don't want to give away any of the juicy stuff. The book is about love and lust, writers and artists, muses and intellectual property. As the reader comes to realize what and who the novel is really about, they begin to fear for those who find themselves in direct connection with that person. How the author explores their main character is interesting, and reminds of an homage to Dorian Grey - even though, truthfully, I've never read that particular book.

I couldn't put the book down. It was chilling, enthralling, and made me want to reach through the pages and shake almost every single character in the book. Boyne, you've done it again!
