Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-03 00:00:00 fernando vielma I really liked this book. It told the life and story of the wild boy of Aveyron. It started off with the young boy, close to ten years old, living alone. Sometimes he went into the village to look for food and one time he got caught. He escaped through on multiple accounts and when they finally caught him for good he got sent to a school for the blind and deaf since he would not talk. He then got sent to a school with a professor who wanted to examine him. He ran multiple tests and put clothes on him. He got sent to multiple different places never gaining his freedom back.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-11-28 00:00:00 Andrea Canal A unique account of a boy back in the late 1700's, running around naked in the wild, left to his own devices without any known parents. They did not know who he was, or where he came from. They guessed his age to be about 12, both deaf and mute and named him Victor. The whole book revolves around the doctor who took him in. Raised him as a son, and worked with him on language, learning, social skills. An amazing and remarkable story of a boy retarded of his humanity by being left in the wild, and then careful day by day intimate training.
