I read the first two pages and thought, "There's no way in Australia a
seven year old wrote **this**" and didn't read any further.  I may pick
it up again and forget the supposed age of the supposed author of the
supposed letter from camp and then tell you what I think...


I'm having similar feelings on this matter...but on the other hand, although 
i don't find it likely that a young child could write something so 
intelligent, i do find the idea interesting and (only slightly however) 
entertaining.  I have six pages to go in the story and I have really caught 
hold of anything really engaging in the tale but I will continue reading it 
with halfhearted delight.

stupid critique book. i                      agree with it, though.
