This book got me into reading so when I reached the end tears were flowing down my cheeks. I would read this book five out of five because the story beautiful expresses the feelings and emotions of the main character and we would be like we are getting into the story and have a pet lion and I have also red some other creations of the author called the best Christmas present in the world which is an emotional story and I would recommend everyone to read this as the starting to their reading journey the genre of this book is fiction with animal love this story expresses emotions of a little boy who grow up in Africa and had a pet lion which he was later separated from Sometimes this book me feel boring but trust me if you read this book completely you give your life to read this book again from the start.... Hope this helps
