The reviewer for The Washington Post wrote: "What becomes of bullies when they grow up? Do they evolve into decent, kind human beings, or does their capacity for malice grow along with their bodies? Allen Kurzweil explores this issue — and much more — in 'Whipping Boy,' a compulsive account of his search for the childhood tormentor who made his life miserable ... a fascinating, multi-pronged morality tale about victimhood, skewed perception and the liberation of facing your demons."[3]
