Norm sounds like a bit of a spoiled brat!<br /><br />On the other hand, are there really any serious consequences for children or young adults these days? We seem to have become such a 'namby pamby' society, that youngsters rule the roost in most homes and schools, knowing that they can get away with bad behaviour and no-one can touch them!<br /><br />I'm not surprised that you were a little disappointed with this book, better luck with the next.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-79046697300022618952014-09-24T14:35:11.244+01:002014-09-24T14:35:11.244+01:00I am so sorry you did not fully enjoy it.
