The Witness by James Jauncey |
|
The book was very exciting with
a gripping plot and plausible characters. The political situation that the book
is set in is a bit over the top and slightly hard to understand but it adds to
the dark atmosphere of the book. The plot was slightly predictable in some
places but there were quite a few surprises.
It was a very different book
from what I would usually read but I seriously liked it, a lot! I didn't get
into it to start with but once I did, I could hardly put down. It was a bit sad
too, in places.
The book really grips you once
you start reading it. It’s hard to put down.
This book was absolutely
fantastic!! I really enjoyed reading it. He describes the area well and really
sets the scene! It is really hard to put this book down!!
I really enjoyed The Witness.
It was a powerful book that you could not put down. I liked it because it was
set around our area and I recognized all the places. A very good read.
I liked this book because the
characters were very inspiring. The ending was a bit confusing but it was
excellent. I couldn't put it down as I wanted to find out more about Ninian,
John and Lila.
I liked the part at the
beginning when the soldiers are trespassing through the town but I didn't like
the part when they were harming the soldiers. I liked the ending but thought it
was quite sad and mournful.
I really liked this book because
it was set in the Highlands so you knew where they were talking about. It had a
good plot and was really interesting.
It was a great read and I really
enjoyed it.
Interesting book set in the
highlands with some of the action taking place in places many will recognise.
The book is basically adventure packed and starts with quite a disturbing
incident which is the key to the rest of the story. What would it be like to
live in the Highlands under an oppressive government where ordinary people live
in fear? The leader of the rebels comes from Fortrose and the main character who
unintentionally becomes an outlaw with the power to change the situation is only
18. Can he succeed? Read the book to find out.
I am not yet finished reading
this book yet but am looking forward to doing so. From what I have read so far I
think I'm going to really like it. It is set in Scotland, which particularly
caught my eye, as not many books are. This is a very unpredictable book
therefore I am restricted in what I am able to say, but I have been introduced
to the main character, 'John'. He was the witness of a massacre where he found
only one survivor - a young boy. The two are on a quest to safety, closely
missing the deadly guards.
I though it was written very well and I liked the storyline. I think lots of
people will like it and should read it. |
