I enjoyed the chapters engaging with other characters, especially as I got farther in the book and learned more of the complex interactions of different people from his home town. The main character incites a sympathy and identification in the reader, while keeping a dark and lonely hero, comparable to many comic book style heroes. This felt like a slice cut out from the middle of a longer story.
It is incredibly heartbreaking what happens to kids and people in general. This book has so much information about things people couldn't imagine (or wouldn't want to). There's a lot of interviews in the book about child trafficking, etc. If you decide to read this, there is some very sensitive material about extreme child abuse, kidnapping, trafficking, etc. I have looked into Johnny's case, as well as many unsolved and solved true crime cases for a long time.

Not bad, and it seems unfair to hold Arnott to the insuperable standard of "The Long Firm". This is a pretty good crime story, not a great one. Try "The Long Firm" first, a novel you won't soon forget. I wish I had read this before The Long Firm, because then I wouldn't have been distracted by noticing similar shapes to the relationships and similarities in characters, but if anything I think I enjoyed this one more. As with that novel, and He Kills Coppers, the author takes a real story and turns the events into fiction. Sometimes people only have one book in them, and sadly that appears to be the case with Jake Arnott.
It is always important to question what is going on around you and not assume the government, company, another person is working for the better good. I tried to read this without judging the author, to look at her as an individual with the normal human faults of character. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Why Johnny Can't Come Home by Noreen N. Gosch. Not as good as the Long Firm Trilogy, I didn't expect it to be. Cigarettes, aftershave, bodies, chlorine, dripping, polished wooden floors, poverty.
My Book Notes
He knows that Titan was behind it all and thought it best to disappear. What follows is action adventure with X-Men like characters- Super humans with abilities beyond wildest imagination fighting each other and it is just the beginning of the conspiracy. The author explores the concepts of the unmapped areas of the human brain/mind. What if we could use other areas of the 90% or so of our minds? Is survival of the fittest justifiable amongst humans? These last two questions are examined in the light of solid Biblical teachings which are an integral part of the story , giving us a quantifiable yardstick to measure them against.

In fact, he really doesn’t know that much about his friend, Johnny, either. A town gripped in conspiracy and tyranny and now teenagers starting to understand they have superpowers accelerated by the towns governing company. As another pointed out, this book had great need for better proofing and editing, but that is not the point of a book like this.
It is the other characters, the ones that actually breathe, that while mostly actualized, seem to exist in a stasis of looking for any kind of release that makes up this novel. And naturally, the characters are all at odds with how to exactly achieve that in damn near every avenue of their lives. This is a compelling portrait of six people flailing about trying to make sense of the urgency of the early 70s, which has woken up to a type of nihilism that seemed repressed by the naivety and utopian dreams of the 60s. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Johnny Come Home by Jake Arnott. I learned a lot about Sproul's early years in this autobiography, from his two conversions to stories he often referred to in many of his sermons. I could not put the book down easily, and thus lost much sleep by staying up late and reading long past my bedtime.
Johnny is a young, black man, adopted by white parents. He wonders if some of the hatred and opposition he has experienced is due to bigotry and ignorance, yet he never uses those questions as a crutch or a reason to shirk his responsibilities. Other characters must also come face to face with preconceived social notions and decide how they will respond. In fact, the entire question of the “indigos” (read the book...no spoilers.) is a parallel to so many issues and opinions we still must process in our world today. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Johnny Came Home by Tony Breeden.
I was provided a copy of this book, but was in no way obligated to write a positive review. The back story which is essential is timely fed to us when we need to know it and how it affects the story at this point. It gives drive and essence to the actions and understandings our young heroes are facing in this tale of good versus evil, and deciding which side is actually which.

The true-crime genre is experiencing a huge boom, and it comes as no surprise—podcasts, documentaries, and TV shows have us all addicted to...
As Sweet Thing gets drawn further into Johnny Chrome's dangerous orbit, Pearson and Nina discover that O'Connell was not all he seemed. In this tautly paced, highly evocative novel Jake Arnott once again combines brilliant storytelling with a flawless portrait of a changing era, when the optimism of the 60s was giving way to the anger and bombs of the early 70s. Everything you could hope for and a brilliant blending of philosophical questions, corporations with too much money, experimentation and mutation, and so much more. The characters are well thought out and the back stories complete. They have everything they need to make this series a breakout hit but I don’t see it happening like this. For a typical “book” reader I feel that the writing is too choppy.
First off, I received this novel for free in exchange for an honest review. Second, I'm totally NOT the intended audience for this book. This book was,at times, difficult to read the content.
I'm putting this under both 'nonfiction' and 'occult-nonfiction' because she gets awfully conspiracy-theory heavy about... This is not why I gave it a low rating, though, I mostly gave it a low rating because the writing is absolutely terrible. And I wasn't expecting, looking at the cover, a literary masterpiece, but I was expecting a basic knowledge of English grammar. I did not get a basic knowledge of the English grammar. I lived in Urbandale, IA when Johnny Gosch went missing. The reading brought up many interesting points which to be aware.
And by the wonderful London observer and stickler to details - Jake Arnott. Like Arnott's great London 60's crime novel "The Long Firm," "Johnny Come Home" takes an intense look into the music scene of London's glitter era. Johnny, is sort of based on Gary Glitter - but I don't think it is actually him, just image wise.
Lists containing this Book
You join Johnny and find out he is no ordinary kid. He has strong, powerful, superhero like abilities that help him along the way. Of these evolving characters, none is more fascinating than the lead, John Lazarus himself. Dark, brooding, but with a high sense of loyalty and justice, Johnny’s journey is one of self-discovery. Breeden allows the revelations of Johnny’s past, and hopefully his coming to terms with them, to arrive at a similar pace to his discoveries of more and more of his preternatural abilities. What results is a reluctant, sometimes angry, but maturing hero that you simply have to cheer for.
