Roy was a total inspiration. Although this book is classified as 'teenage fiction', I believe that it's a worthy read for people of all ages. Hunting elephants was a unique and clever story, reflecting on many little things we struggle in everyday lives. Family tensions, friendships and self esteem. What more could I say? A great read.
it was a good story,
