Ratings and reviews

In my opinion, this is one of the best books I've ever read. With heartwarming moments to moments that'll make you laugh and cry. Perfect for readers who enjoy a bit of adventure.

(I read the real book, but they are the same) This was the best book I ever read. I did not expect much from this originally, but it turned out to be amazing! 10/10. This book made me emotional, and made me cry. I was engaged from the beginning. One of the reasons I like this book is because it basically puts a spotlight on justuce and the importance of it. It also bring up God without being a religious book.
