Lowboy Audiobook

" I really liked this book. A brief look out at the world thru the eyes of a mentally ill young man. Very poignant, I found myself cheering him on in his bizarre quest. "

" I loved this book-right from the start! "

" I reviewed this at my blog, Hungry Like the Woolf. "

" This author alternates between the boy with schizophrenia's perspective and his mother with an investigator's perspective and I really appreciated it. I enjoyed this book as something different. "

" An accurate depiction of paranoid schizophrenia? Not sure. Riveting? Definitely. "

" I read this after Buffalo Lockjaw - trying to get through Buffalo bron authors. Lowboy is interesting. As with Buffalo Lockjaw I wasn't wowed but it was interesting "

" Really enjoyed this one (thanks for the recommendation, Daniel). "

" Recommended if you want a nice dose of schizophrenia. "

" Peek into the head of a schizophrenic in the subways of New York who wants to solve global warming. The ending was predictable. "

" This was very touching story. It was interesting and it draws you in. It loses some momentum when you have to deal with the mother & the detective, but when dealing with Lowboy you are riveted. Well written and highly recommended. I passed my copy on to a friend I thought would love it. "

" Just kinda too bizarre for me. A quick read, but not so memorable. "

" Why no hyphens in your compound adjectives, John Wray? "

" LOWBOY is a brilliant novel, nearly impossible to put down. Wray takes you inside the head of a young paranoid schizophrenic, who's stopped taking his meds. An amazing job of capturing that delusional perspective. "

" Disappointing. Felt like he was trying to hard to sound like a paranoid schizophrenic and lost all ability to actually write. "

" i gave it an honest effort.........over 100 pages. there are few books tht i don't complete...........i was more confused than "lowboy" was. nuff said "

" Eh, not that good. You don't get credit for writing an incomprehensible book if it doesn't have anything more to it. Sorry. "

" Quirky goings-on involving mental illness in metropolitan New York? Well, I guess there's a first time for everything. "

" Halfway through and just couldn't bring myself to waste any more time with it. The Author has a way with words which was beautiful but the story was dull and going nowhere. "

" The descriptions of Will's visions during his decompensations were visually impressive and really gripping. I did not find the same to be true for the story with the cop and his mother though. As a result, I felt let down by those aspects of the story. "

" a bipolar boy rides the depths of the subways and thinks out loud for the reader. Strange and felt a bit sorry for him, but story not as good as I thought it would be. I did, however, like the fact that it took place in NYC SUBWAYS and I know every location he spoke of. "

" A heartbreaking and beautifully written novel. I found all the characters to be very intriguing and sympathetic. The parts told from Will's perspective are pretty amazing. "

" I really liked this book. A brief look out at the world thru the eyes of a mentally ill young man. Very poignant, I found myself cheering him on in his bizarre quest. "

" The subject matter was intriguing, but it just wasn't as captivating as I had hoped. I liked it, but I can think of books that I liked better. I'd give another one of John Wray's books a chance. Sometimes the timing of what one is reading just isn't right. "

" Good, a little short on the ending. But that matched the style of the book. "
