Format:Paperback
One of the best books I have read. The only criticism is that I found it quite confusing at the start and hard to get into. When I got to the main part of the book, I didn't want to put it down. I'm quite slow at reading books but because this book was brilliant it took me one day to read. The story line was about an African boy who had been fighting in a war. He then got taken away to London because all his family were dead. He stayed with a girl and her family. He is determined to go back and take revenge on the people who killed his family. Overall I think everyone should grab this book and make sure they read it.
Format:Kindle Edition
I like this book because it's got things to do with war and was displayed in an exhibition in London. I think that it should be read for sure.

This book looked realy good from the outside so I thaught it was going to be a realy great book, however, I found the language hard to go along with, the story stupid in the way it was written, and I also found it to be very boaring!
If you want my advice try reading this book before you buy it and make up your own mind about whether you like it or not.
