Title: Great for all ages
Review: I am a sophmore at St. George's School in Newport, Rhode Island. In my English class we are reading "Littlejohn." It is a story set in North Carolina during the early to mid seventies. Littlejohn is an eighty- two year old man who is recalling his life as a father, soldier, teenager and murderer. Owen uses the language of an eighty- two year old man who did not learn to read and write until he was forty-two. Owen also includes Littlejohn's grandson, Justin and his daughter, Georgia. Justin is a teenager who is readily identified as a teenager from his use of language. He uses the word "like" and curse words often. "We appeal to the offical, he's like looking somewhere else." The novel is told through the eyes of Justin, Georgia and Littlejohn. There are three different age groups that this books appeals to; anyone can identify with it. It is a wonderful, easy to read book. Once I picked it up I could not put it down.
