It starts of a bit gloomy and dull, the author is trying to get the audience to feel guilty and to reflect on there own social conscience about homelessness and I started to wonder if I would actually even want to read this book in class never mind at home but as I read further on I started wanting to know what was going to happen next every time I put the book down, it was like there was a cliffhanger after every chapter.
It also had some interesting words in which then I wanted to find out what they meant, this also widened my vocabulary. However you have to really pay attention to what's happening because in the story there are two different people writing, so its like a diary entry but from two different people in one book. This is interesting but you have to make sure you understand which person is writing. I found this a good idea because it means the reader can feel both actors point of view and can sympathise with both of them but in this case it was in extremely different ways, as one of them was a homeless man so you sympathised to him as he has no where to go but the other person is a murderer and he is mad the reader can still sympathise with him because we feel sorry that he has turned that way and he talks to himself which shows he has no one else to talk to.
The end is very unexpected though, I think this because you expect the homeless man to get a home and live happily ever after with a family but it doesn't end like that at all in fact its the complete opposite he doesn't gain anything, and is still left homeless.
I really enjoyed reading this book and i think most boys and girls between the ages 12-16 would enjoy reading this book.
