知道太多的男孩

I picked this up after my own son started saying strange things about a life before this one, and the baseball player scene hit uncomfortably close to home. It's a quick read but the conversations between mother and son stayed with me for days.

I wasn’t expecting to tear up over a book about past lives, but that little boy’s dialogue—especially the stomping and “No! I was a tall baseball player”—felt so real it gave me chills. It’s the kind of story that makes you wonder and lingers long after you close it.

The chapter where the kid stomps his foot and insists he was a tall baseball player got me thinking about my own nephew's odd comments. Some parts drag a bit, but the conversations between mother and son feel genuinely transcribed rather than polished.
