A haunting and hopeful tale of discovering light in even the darkest of places.

For his whole life, the boy has lived underground, in a basement with his parents, grandmother, sister, and brother. Before he was born, his family was disfigured by a fire. His sister wears a white mask to cover her burns.

He spends his hours with his cactus, reading his book on insects, or touching the one ray of sunlight that filters in through a crack in the ceiling. Ever since his sister had a baby, everyone’s been acting very strangely. The boy begins to wonder why they never say who the father is, about what happened before his own birth, about why they’re shut away.

Evaluation About Books The Light of the Fireflies
3.5 stars.This was an intriguing story, about a family living in the basement of their former home. After reading the first two chapters, it was evident that this was going to be a dark tale, that took on an even darker tone when it changed to a third person perspective: which serves as the back-story of why they ended up living underground for so many years. It also explains how they were able to survive down there without ever leaving.The first person narrative is told by the (boy) - they

Ugh, I loved this book so much.

So let me start off by saying the writing was good, and that the pacing and story pulled me inI read it to the end. Which was the real problem. The book starts off interesting. It's Room, but with the whole family, grandmother and all. There's a lot of twists in the story that keep you reading, but then the book takes a weird turn, going from a 1st person perspective to a 3rd person multi POV in the middle of the book, and this part is also a flashback, and it happens right after a major

This book is deeply disturbing and page turning. It will take you on an emotional roller coaster but is a good read.

I've had this surprising little page turner on my Kindle for a few months, and I'm so glad I finally decided to read it. I believe this book has received some negativity, but for me, it was grand. I'm known to be stingy with my five stars, but this book did a number on me. "And those unwilling to look beyond their own little world will be left in the dark." When I began reading this book, I was rather surprised at how dark the theme is. I certainly wasn't expecting it, at all. What I thought

A door loses its meaning if you don't ever go through it. It becomes a wall.The boy has spent ten years of his life in the basement. He was born there, and has only seen the outside world in picture books. His mother, father, older brother, and grandmother all have burn scars on their faces; his sister's scars are so bad, her face is hidden behind a mask. They all live together in the basement and try to maintain as normal a lifestyle as possible.They are failing . . . miserably.This one is

No. This book is crap. It tries to be profound or shocking but one does not earn profundity just by throwing a lot of weighty topics (abuse, incest, living in a basement for ten years) at a "plot" and then doing the Gone Girl sort of twist where I'm supposed to be shocked that NOTHING IS WHAT YOU THOUGHT WOOO JAZZ HANDS DUN DUN DUNNN. Nope. The characters are not empathetic even once you're supposedly given all the stories, and a father is abusive, but out of love, see? and massive brutal crimes
