"Magnificent story from a GREAT author , must read the original (prolonged) version to get enough of it .. Shows that all of us need to struggle at some point of our lives to find the right path we once learned to follow , a path determined by our -and only ours- good , believed-in standards . Those we could live by, seek our dreams , build the world with, even if people around disagree and face us as enemies ..."

It was a good story , English practice and lesson for me .
I was sick when I read the first half of the book, so maybe that's why I got kind of bored. However, I found it very entertaining in the end. The discussions between the characters were so dramatic sometimes that I actually laughed, but again, in the end, it was a fun read and an interesting story.
