Stuart: A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters
The story of Stuart, a homeless, rage filled man is brilliantly captured by the author, and certainly leaves you thinking. Even reading some of the awful things Stuart has done, you are still left feeling that he is someone you would want to get to know. The conclusion is emotional, and made me feel lost for words. Well worth the read - I couldn't put it down.
Stuart: A Life Backwards is one of the 25 selected titles to be given away for World Book Night.
