This is what I would have loved my review to say:
It was a truly fantastic book, about courage and friendship and essentially the concept of humanity.
Except it wasn't. I finished it a month ago and I still had to refresh my memory as to what the book was actually about (and not from old age either).
The characters just didn't come to life, the famous 'red thread' was was in use elsewhere.
So, it gets two stars for a story that needs to be told and maybe a star for how it was told.
