I never read books much , unless I'm assigned to for a class. And this one I actually liked, there are many reasons. But here is some. Its in the out doors, so if you like hunting, action, suspense and fast passed books this is the one for you! It is hunting because Tej and Liam have to kill food to eat and there is some struggles with that. And very suspenseful because they do that the bear lowers his head and then charges after him and then… so it keeps you on the edge of your seat and you will never want to put the book down. also liam teaches tej how to kill animals and how to cleen them out so its safe to eat. he also teaches you a lot of survival tacktecs on living in the wilderness for a long time so you can live long in there.
