Review:
"Boy has retained the capacity to disturb... not as pornography, but as a period piece of angry realism... its horrors stay with the reader." -- Zoë Heller
"Painfully honest and direct... the horror of the situation grips from cover to cover." -- The Financial Times
"Powerful and moving... Hanley's brilliance is to shock us whatever our level of sophistication... The reader's consciousness is seared by the experience." -- The Evening Standard
"The story is quite shattering in its impact." -- The Independent
"This novel has retained its power to shock... it is, quite simply, one of the bleakest books ever written... the raw power of Hanley's language prohibits the entry of even one small ray of light... Boy is unbearably affecting." -- Nick Hornby
