[Kylie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was ok, because I thought the comment on page 27 was very disrespectful to people when I read it. I felt the same way when in the book all the prisoners were Christian. I’m Christian and some parts throughout the book made me feel uncomfortable. I loved the pictures in the background of the images in the book. It made me feel like I was at the Alhambra even though I was not. This was interesting book about the legend’s of the Alhambra in Spain.
