Book Review

I thought the plot line was wonderful.

The characters were very different and interesting. I liked how the author described them because their personalities changed throughout the story. I thought the plot line was wonderful.

The setting was very descriptive and it almost made me feel like I was there. I felt that the opening paragraph was particularly good because that part, at the beginning, made me want to read more. The ending was just as good too.

The design and layout was in a good order because the story made complete sense and wasn’t hard to understand. I would recommend this to all my friends I thought this book was exciting!
