Customer Reviews
Awesome
This was an amazing book. I have realised that the start of the book isn’t amazing, but once you let the star of the show, Oliver, arrive at the school, everything gets better. The storyline is quite interesting and in the end I believe that the narrator is the only thing that would ever get this story down to a four star review.
Terrible ….
Terrible storyline and the narrator did not help…this is a first for me, but I could not sit through this book..only managing 15 minutes… sorry.. I now understand why the book was free… thank you anyway ITunes
