Wait! Yes it is! It is very bad!I really don’t know how to put into words the things I am thinking right now. So I will try to make a list.1. I taught junior high school for 32 years. I rarely met a “bad” boy or girl, and I never met a stupid child. But I did meet some pretty bad and stupid adults.2. The life of a child is a terrible thing to waste.3. There is no adequate punishment for a person who destroys the life of a child for his own pleasure.4. Who gave these freaks they called guards the power to do whatever they felt like to these children?5. Where were the people with authority over these guards? Who was holding them to account? Where was the breakdown? Did they just assume things were fine? Did they never once think to check on the cries of pain and anguish coming from the cells? Or could they just not be bothered? After all, these were “bad boys” who got what was coming to them, right?That is a pretty inadequate list, but the magnitude of the crimes against these children cannot even be measured.This book took my breath away. My heart will forever ache for the things these boys had to endure at the hands of so-called adults. I know similar things take place today, and not only in institutions, but in many other places, even within families. How do we stop the abuse?One of the four boys of this story made it through in reasonable fashion to be able to tell the story. And although I am grateful he did, 1:4 is not very good odds. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very atmospheric book, and addictive *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2017* This was a rather classical-style first person story of 4 "best friends" growing up in an impoverished and tight-knit community in Manhattan in the 1960's. A prank goes sour, and an innocent bystander is horribly injured. The boys are sent off to a horrific, abusive juvenile "facility", which irrevocably alters the course of their lives. It is well done, with a wonderful and convincing "voice". The characters are well developed, and draw the reader deeply into the story. I recommend it highly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok *by K***7 on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2016* This is a very sad story of abuse and revenge. When we are young, even when we are older, we often do stupid things without considering the consequences. Four young boys actions lead to some nasty consequences, but then they become victims of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse at the hands of those who were suppose to watch out for them. Years later, they get the chance for revenge. This novel was a little different that I suspected. It spends A LOT of time discussing the environment that the boys are raised in before we find out what they have done to get sent to the a Juvenile Home. That could have been trimmed down some. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/102049746-sleepers-paperback-january-1-1996](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/102049746-sleepers-paperback-january-1-1996) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
