Robert McCammon's bestselling novel BOY'S LIFE is popular in many schools, but is sometimes challenged and banned. This happened in Hernando County, FL, in 2006, and Robert McCammon addressed the school board to defend the language used in BOY'S LIFE.

  • Yes, as detailed on the McCammon site, the board did vote to include BOY'S LIFE in the purchase.

  • I'm 54 years old. Live in Oregon. But grew up in Huntsville Alabama. I was in a tiny remote store in Madras servicing a Lotto machine and I picked this book off the shelf. I was just swept away. I left with in hand, stopped at a rest stop and read it that day. It is still my fav book of all time and it's magic! To the idiot trying to ban it...I pray for your tiny mind. Go Robert Go!!!

  • Reminds you a bit of Reverend Blessett don't it?

  • ONE of the Best Book,s I have ever Read & I Have read Alot ty ROBERT R McCAMMON for your Wonderful Books I Love them

  • Such a shame that a humble creative artist like Robert McCammon has to cowtow to a bunch of brain dead government workers who've never contributed anything to the private market in their entire life. What a disgraceful society.

  • @Judylicious

    That is awesome. I was wondering if the real Judy had ever seen this while I was watching. I love this author. He's highly underrated. Where's that novel, Judy?

  • Hey! I am the girl whose letter he reads at the end of this video. He mispronounces my last name and geez, what a dork I was 15 years ago :) But how cool!

  • A beautiful and amazing book. Banning it is like banning summer and sunshine. Open your eyes and grow up people. We want our kids to be widely read.

  • The world's best storyteller by far!

  • I loved "Boy's Life" and wouldn't want to take it away from anyone who wanted to read it whether they were a child, adolescent or adult.

    Miss Sandra Nicholson needs to get her head out of her ass and actually READ a book before discrediting it due to one or two profanities.

  • Testify Robert TESTIFY!!!!!!

  • I just found this author via SwanSong. Already ordered Stinger and Boy's Life. I love the voice he uses in his books. A really great author. It's kinda hard to track down his stuff. I'm happy I understand English!!
