    first impression: different,vivid, extraordinary, childish and immature.
    after reading:i didn’t see anything new but it was exiting so it did make me read on. i would rate it a 6 out of 10 in overall structure, content and explanation. i got to know all the characters, they were really life like. i really liked Sam’s character as there was only a handful of characters, i could relate to 1 person and because of that i understood the story a lot more. the language was never difficult to understand but it was a bit childish when it was from Bohemia’s point of view as ahe was only a 10 year old child. the vocab was perfect at most points but sometimes i found it really simple. it doesn’t really have a plot but it was a book that appealed to me. it is aimed at 8+ because of its vivid colour co-ordination and the language. people will enjoy it but it was a book i wanted to finish really quickly.it sounded true and set a really good image in my mind but i didn’t see the point of it.

  2. This book is really enjoyable. I would like a bit of a continuation of the story at the end but apart from that the book is good. I, also like the fact that everyone has their own problems just like in real life. I could read it again and again.

    I did not really enjoy this book as I could not get in to to it so I give it a 3/10.
