Commentary Concering Books The Bat (The Red Grouse Tales) - A coming of age story involving a search after truth, doubt and a bat! (The Red Grouse Tales)
What is true? What is truth?An adult, speculative, spiritual and philosophical coming of age story.
An old and now sceptical Thomas looks back on the events of his last term at school when his class returned to a new beautiful class teacher, a donation of stuffed animals and birds by an eccentric benefactor and the increasingly strange events which followed. Zoological specimens appeared to be not quite as dead as they looked. A bell-jar which had contained a stuffed bat shattered during an exorcism, after which what had been strange events turned to being sinister and frightening.
As a then naive young Thomas searched for the truth, he found himself, questioning ‘good and evil’, realising that his task is not as simple and straightforward as he would have wished and in so doing loosing his innocence and having to accept that belief may have as much to do with truth as do facts.
A tale for those who like to think on what they are reading.
(Warning to sensitive readers; the story is an adult one and so does contain references to sex)

"...Which "truth" do you wish to belief?" The last sentence of the book shows us a whole story in a whole new light. From the beginning, I was pulled into the story by the story-teller Tom, who was an incredibly smart child as I was reading thoroughly. But this book wasn't about bats, not about magic nor religion, even when it looks like it. The Bat from my point of view shows us a life-long battle between emotions (Tom) which are mostly confusing and brain (Bobby). We can choose. We have toThe Red Grouse Inn, a place where stories are told & shared with subsequently have now been written down. What better than a cozy watering hole & a tale or two by the log fire. I dont know if there is a log fire but I like to think there is. The Bat is a story of childhood whimsy & imagination in the school days way back when, crushes on your teacher-Miss loveless, naughty friends-The Thompson twins, Christianity & dead stuffed animals.One in particular being The Bat, a literal
This is my first meet with Leslie W P Garlands writing and I really enjoyed it! The bat is a tale told by Thomas, who was on his usual meeting with his friends at The Red Grouse Inn.I didnt know what to expect at the beginning, I really loved Thomas narration of the tale, how the reader get more details one by one. Because of this, the strory may feel a little bit slow at the beginning, you got a lot of information about people, about the school but believe me, soon you wont even know what to
"The difference between good and evil isnt always as easy to figure out as one might think. " The story is great. Although the characters aren't quite develop as the story goes, the story itself brings lesson on faith and feed the readers a lot of food of thought.
DNF at 60%I couldn't finish this, I just couldn't, even though it wasn't very long. "The bat" was alright at first; there were stuffed animals in a school which disappeared or changed even though they were very much dead and characters who had potential and a mystery which was interesting enough to keep me going. Then the theological debate started and at first it was good because we had Bobby Thompson and Felicity going back and forth at it, but later when it was being directly read from a
This made me think of the early Stephen King books I loved reading years ago. The writing is very well done and the wistful narration adds so much to the already well thought out plot. The Thomas character is well-developed and multi-layered so you really feel for him and feel draw into the story and subsequently his experiences. Id never read anything by Graney previously and this was a pleasant surprise for me how much I enjoyed The Bat. As this is the second book in the Red grouse Tales Ill
