Reviews for Sparrow

[Lori Amber Dye · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I don’t know if I would have liked the book more if it were a different narrator. He came across unemotional. But regardless, it was hard to listen too and I felt at times it was more like normalizing pedophilia than it was the humiliation of the boy. And the point of the story was? I wish I would’ve stopped listening to it hours before. I was hoping for a better ending but was left disappointed.
