Since the beginning of this year, 2015, I have been researching British and American forces in order to write a realistic theatre production, that will be based in Afghanistan 2009.
2009 became known as the, "bloodiest year in Afghanistan," after seeing the death of 100 British Soldiers. During the past seven months, I have read a fair amount of life-stories based in Afghanistan/Iraq. A good narration allows for a good visual effect that takes place in ones mind. David Wiseman allowed me to do that. His descriptive voice allowed me to place myself in his situation. It was scary. It was very scary. Throughout his book I have; thought, visualised, learned, laughed, cried and, ultimately, became inspired by his strength and determination. You have my utmost respect!
I have rated this book 5/5. You don't need to wonder why. Just read it!

This is the story of a friendship between two boys in 1970's Afghanistan. When something horrible happens, it affects them forever. I loved the author's second book, but I found this one lacking.
