Advantages: The plot and characters

Disadvantages: sometimes a tad hard to follow but bare with it as it all starts to knit together

This book really made me think about times like this, when the book was set. It is in the middle of World War Two in a small close where two friends set off on an adventure that definately changes their lives. Stephen is a small boy that is bullied at school and only finds rest with his friend Keith when they play games. However the game they are about to embark on certainly isn't at all what they expected... I really loved this and i studied it at school for a while. While at the start everything seems innocent and straight forward, as the novel unfolds a more twisted plot unravels. Believe me this book is worth reading and Michael Frayn really portrays the two boys well with his distinct writing style and the characteristics the boys are given. All is not what it seems at the close... Will you find out why?

Summary: A brilliant book and i really urge readers to go and try this one out
