Crying Wolf by Peter Abrahams
1.0
I knew this book wouldn't be good, I knew it, and yet I decided to give it a try. It really wasn't worth it.
I found the structure of the book very confusing, the themes (deciding your own future? Money? Missing fathers?) got lost in the way, too many insignificant characters, too long a beginning (with nothing really happening), and especially the lack of interesting characters: I couldn't care less what happened to them. They remained plastic and boring, especially the main trio (twins + Nat). Even more, Nat seemed rude, (can't understand why the twins loved him so much).
The only character that had some personality in him was Freedy. Did I like him, no, but was he interesting, certainly.
Overall, not worth reading.
