Have you ever read a book narrated by a child's imaginary friend? This book is thoughtful, charming and unputdownable.

This book is different and interesting in the fact that instead of being told from the point of view of a living character (in this case, Max) it is instead told from the point of view of Budo- Max's imaginary best friend. Because the book…

From the point of view of the "friend" was an excellent way to tell a story that has so many different sides to it! I was not sure about the suggestion to read it but am very glad I did. Took me 2 days, with my schedule, and I am sure it…

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. It was suspenseful and intriguing. Different from anything I have read before. Highly recommend.

The review of this book, above, from the Guardian lists the author's name as Matthew Green. The reviewer didn't like the book, but didn't even know the author's name?

I picked up the book because the title intrigued me. I enjoy flights of imagination. I was very pleased that it turned out to be so much more than I had expected. True, it starts out being the actual story of the imaginary friend of an…

Wonderful book about a child with different feelings and how he deals with the tormenters in his life. Just wonderful.

What could've been a great book, was just an average book. I felt the writing was very simplistic, and even though the story was written from the point of view of the imaginary friend, it was still just a little too simple.

This is an important book. It paints an authentic picture of a child who is "a little different"--a child who prefers to be alone, a quiet child who is content within himself, but worries his parents. He has an invisible friend, who…

Matthew Dicks has created something marvelous and original, the story of the life of an imaginary friend. Imaginary friends are limited only by... you guessed it, the imagination. Budo is lucky; he looks and acts like a real little boy. …

A very unique "voice" narrating this book, and at times I couldn't put it down. unfortunately, towards the end it verged into "fantasy" a bit too much for me, and it took away from the whole thing. I'd still recommend it, and it was good,…

On the way through, I loved this book. Really enjoyed reading it. Budo, the narrator and imaginary friend of the title, is fantastic. Unfortunately, the unlikeliness of the premise spoiled the book for me. Honestly, I couldn't suspend my…

This is truly a book I could not put down. In parts I laughed and in other parts I cried.

Do not read anything about this book before you read this book, not even the inside cover! It is amazing how one can become so attached to an imaginary character that you cry at the thought of the end of his "life". At times…
