- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
5.0
Heart wrenching, the characters are wonderfully complex and the book managed to tell such an intricate story in under 400 pages. It is not a joyful story, the events Mungo and those around him go through are horrific but so incredibly believable, once i started reading i couldn’t stop.
