  3. Rating • I think this book was a very good book because the author put in a lot of descriptive words and made me want to keep reading. I think it was a very interesting story and had a lot of emotion. I also like how at the end of each chapter, the author left you wondering what will happen next. These are some reasons why I think this was a very good book.
