This Much Huxley Knows by Gail Aldwin - Review
Huxley vs his parents,who knows best!!
This book is a standalone novel written by Gail Aldwin.The story is told through the eyes of 7 year old Huxley.When Huxley means Leonard at the hairdresser,Huxley just sees him as a lonely man,but his parents have other ideas.
My favourite character was Huxley,I loved his childhood innocence and how he views the world.All the characters are very well rounded and the reactions of the adults are sadly only too believable in this day and age.
My favourite part of the book is when Huxley is proved right,and I loved the way the book gets the reader to think like a child and how differently children see things in the world
The only thing I struggled with in the book was when Huxley pronounces words wrong on purpose,i found it hard to relate to this part of the story,and didn’t quite understand the relevance of this,maybe this is just me and I couldn’t quite get into the brain of a 7 year old.
I would definitely recommend adults read this book as it makes you realise that sometimes adults read things into situations that are sometimes not there,and as adults we should listen to children more.
Bookworm Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
