The book is a missile! This is one of the books that I would recommend to every age person. Read it at any age and it's still interesting, mind-blowing and catchy I can't stop reading it once I start it. Just can't wait to buy the next book in the sequel. The description and plot made me feel I was watching Sam and following his progress. Worth the price. This is a must-read book and I think it's a lot better than Harry Potter and all the other must-reads. [It won the Newberry Honor Book Duh! U shud read it!]
