Jamie has his share of run-ins, including a run-in with pirates and a shark on the same day. He sailed around the world after the navy getting into fights and running guns for the conflict in Ireland. Jamie begins to relay a tale about traveling the world. What has happened to Jamie?įor the longest time Jamie does not talk to the psychologist, Dr. Jamie is deathly scared of the dark and needs medications to function on the most basic level. We pick up with him again twenty years later in a mental institution. We leave Jamie at eight going to a terrible place. There is nowhere for Jamie to go, but to an orphanage. His mother has just died and his father is dead as well. What I can say, that this is honestly the first time I have encountered book that involves pirates, vampires and mental illness all at the same time. I don’t know whether it’s cliché or it’s one of a kind. I don’t know whether to cheer the ending or lament it. I don’t know whether it’s brilliant or it’s not. I wouldn’t really say confused with bad connotations, I just don’t know what to think of this book. Hinton is a book that has left me a little confused.
