Boyhood is a time of being overlooked; everyone has a way they believe you ought to be behaving and plenty of orders to guide you in that direction. But rarely does it seem like anyone cares for what you think. Boyhood is a time of being alive and having thoughts and trying to find a place in the world in which you can stand and make a difference, but you aren’t treated like a real person yet. Boyhood is long and big and confusing and sometimes scary. There’s a lot to do and experience and sometimes the things we see don’t make any sense. Boyhood is a time to make sense of all of these things that don’t make sense and nobody seems to care to help you along on this process.
Good book, good read, lots to chew on. Characters could be a bit flat, but it was a short hundred pages. And maybe that’s how the adults of our childhood were: flat, dimensionless facades of real people. The author used his space well. Would recommend
