 Review

Firstly, I found this book slightly boring. This was due to the fact that that the story was a bit slow

at times, making reading the book a bit tedious at times.

Another problem with the book was the fact that the story didn’t exactly draw me in. It took me

about a week to read this book because of how little the story appealed to me. Instead of reading

war stories, I was more interested in the latest post/pre apocalyptic story.

However, one of the good points of the story was the writers ability to describe. I loved the

intriguing way the author described Jan’s adventures, as if I was really there.

Overall, this was a good book that tried its best, but just wasn't me in the end.
