For fans of Serial, Making a Murderer and The Keepers

"Dramatic and disturbing . . . his evidence, used judiciously and presented without comment but with an undertone of urgency, is a damning indictment." - Anita Brookner, Observer

Friday, 12th February, 1993. Two outwardly unremarkable ten-year-old boys began the day by playing truant and ended it running an errand for the local video shop. In between they abducted and killed a two-year-old boy, James Bulger. In search of an explanation, award-winning journalist David James Smith looks behind the misinformation, misunderstanding, and sensational reporting to an exact account of the events of that day. A sensitive and definitive account, The Sleep of Reason achieves a unique understanding of the James Bulger case, and comes as close as may ever be possible to explaining how two ten-year-olds could kill.

Originally published in 1994, this new edition features a new preface which considers the release and rearrest of one of the convicted.

Not for a puppy

This is a great toy for a medium to large dog, but not for a puppy. We had to return it.

DIDN’T LAST!!
Color: Green, Color: Green
It seemed really sturdy when I got it, but didn’t last longer than a day. To be honest, I would’ve been really concerned if he swallowed that piece.

Long lasting
Color: Green
My dog has played with this pickle for a long time. Very durable. Has teeth marks but she is unable to tear it apart. Be careful where your dog leaves it because it easily rolls. My husband can attest to that. He stepped on it, it rolled and landed on the ground. When asked what happened to his leg he replies "I slipped on a Pickle".
