THE NEW YORK TIMES SATURDAY REVIEW. "In 'BOY, ' her latest work, Miss Corelli is at her best. In this she has written a story which is at once healthy in tendency and in the main true to the facts of human nature. In this story the Transvaal war makes its appearance in contemporaneous fiction before it is over. The story is excellently constructed, and is told with charming simplicity of style. The characters are well drawn, and the whole atmosphere of the tale is lifting. As a study of the possible effects of good influences in overcoming the tendencies of heredity it is thoughtful, and it will add to the solidity of its author's reputation."
THE BOSTON COURIER. "'BOY' is one of the most wonderful delineations of mental development that has ever been published. The author's style is, as usual with Miss Corelli, such that tells the tale at its best, that holds the attention from the opening of the book until its closing. It informs of the earnestness of the writer upon her subject, who at times uses sarcasm in a mighty way. To 'BOY' is certainly owing extensive perusal and popularity."
