Lunchbox dream part 2

This book continues to hold my attention quite well, and really captures the delicate child psychology that has to be so prominent in a story like this. Bobby is often subjected to things that he can't quite grasp and comprehend. It is at these times when we are reminded that he's still a very young child. But what I really like about the book is the setting. Both what it is, and how the author describes it. As a big fan of the 1950s in all of its consumerist glory, this setting was one of the biggest reasons that I picked up this book in the first place. And the way that the author matter-of-fact-ishly mentions the various quirks and trends of the era is very well done.
