The Boot 1. The Boot The Boot

Most stories about homelessness are told from the point of view of the homeless themselves. This story, however, is from the point of view of one who is simply doing what he can to try to help the homeless, making it perhaps unusual for the genre. It is, as Backwoods Boy has already said, an excellently crafted story, which draws the reader in from the very first opening sentences. It is well worth the read, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly. I look forward to reading more of Mancunian's writing.

A damn fine story! Perfectly written with great dialogue and description. Loving people who live to help others! Overall, a very believable story that I loved. I am sure you will too!

A great story of care and understanding that makes you want to give each and everyone of the characters a great big hug!.  The Boot is a life raft for the homeless that is filled with care and respect for their clients.  The story is short, but the good feeling you are left with will remain long with you.

This story can tug at your heartstrings.  While pointing out some of the challenges of homelessness, it also has some positive aspects.  The caring shown by John, The Major, and others is well worth reading about.

This is an excellently-crafted story about homelessness and the silent compassionate heroes who do what they can to help.  The author has a gift for character and setting detail that brings colorful life to the tale.  The conversation and interactions produce a reality that connects the reader closely to each very-unique character.  One exits the adventure with as much hope for the future as Ian and Kevin have found.
