Just a Boy

"As said so often through these reviews this is a book you just can't put down. I read it from cover to cover the day I opened the first page.

Deeply moving and totally captivating.

Thank you for having the courage to share your story Richard.

"When a murder is committed very few of us stop to think about the effect it will have on the victim`s family-and if we do, it`s not for very long.It has a knock-on effect, and down the line everyone suffers in some way. Richard and his siblings live with the after effects of their mother`s murder to this day, and i`m not going to say too much as i know it caused his sister to kill herself not too long ago. Richard`s story is extremely well written, well told,and it must have been absolutely heartbreaking to re-live. I wish him and his family all the happiness in the world. x "

"The subject matter is very sad but this book is really well written and you will be gripped from the first paragraph. Richard has an awful life and he and his family go through so much, but the book ends on a positive note which is quite uplifting. I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested in this genre. Excellent."

"This book is an excellent read and written with such passion.

As Richard's Mum was murdered by the Yorkshire Ripper the subject matter is disturbing but it is told from a child's point of view and gives us a valuable insight into how the family coped in the aftermath.

I have actually heard Richard speak publically about his life and he truly is an inspiration to all ages.

GOOD LUCK IH THE FUTURE RICHARD

RECOMMENDED."
