Book Review Cont.
I think this book is very detailed and fits for a person that is a James Bond fan because is basically the young version of him. I like this book because of what stands for, its a young boy whose choices will effect his life forever. It stands for a person that has never rely on anyone because he has no one for him. I believe that any person would like this book because of its content and everyone who i know that reads it says they favor a lot even if they are not into those area of books. And people who are interested in action books or even movies.
