Haven Book Review

It's unbelievable that bullying a 14-year-old would get to that point in the end.

| Haven

6.5 points or ★ ★ ★

The story of a 14-year-old boy who was born with an abnormal eye: strabismus. This child was bullied, bullied, physically and mentally abusive most of the time at school until one day a letter was sent from a girl in the same class and came across bullying. The same bully made her the only one who understood his feelings.

Plot / storyline is good, pretty central, somber, gloomy, sad, depressing, but not so hard to read, easy to read, or maybe I've read a lot of stories like this, sometimes with pleasure, some ideas, but too little.

The story is relatively slow, and it goes through the point of view of a single character, 14, who is bullied, who will gradually tell what he found, the letters from the girl who sent him, and what the girl was hit by, which is quite boring for me, not very enjoyable to read, and not very addictive, but I will not switch to other books first, because it is interesting and interesting to follow.

The content is quite difficult to predict. What this child and another girl went through was very unexpected, especially at the end of the story. It is unbelievable that the bullying of a 14-year-old can get to this point. Read it like, "Damn! Why is it so cruel?"

In the end, after this child has been through a bad story, it seems beautiful, but it is hidden with some bitterness that I do not understand very well, reading the last part again, or is this the kind of haven that writers want to convey by the title of this book?

Overall, quite good to the middle, secretly boring, no less. Make it not very enjoyable or addictive, but do not want to lay. Read continuously until the end. The content is not so intense or depressing that it is difficult to read.
