Title: unnecessarily negative and dark
Product review: Whew! After having read this book the only strong feeling I had was relief! Why is all the recommended, award-winning literature for children so depressing and dark? Isn't anyone writing children's literature anymore that have happy, or at least hopeful endings? This book never explains why Paul is so angry, other than the fact that his brother has Downs Syndrome. If Paul were my child, I would be looking for other reasons, as well. He is a totally one-dimensional character in this book, and I for one could never conjure up any compassion for him. This book is just not real, and the author needs to do more research about today's expectations for people with DS. They certainly go to school before age 7, and not to "trade school." What is that??? This book was a total waste of my time!!! Yuk!
