Tragedy has finally caught up with our characters and it was brutal. A couple ambushed our main characters, they stabled the boy's father. He survived days later but slowly died from illness and the wound. The boy soon moved in with another family. A theme that reflects the book with real life, is homelessness. The man and son are always on the run and were always scavenging for food throughout the book. Just like in real life we witness homeless people always on the move, I thought the book was realistic, of course the son and the man weren't going to keep running for the rest of their lives. I would recommend this book with someone that enjoys books. This book was very hard to follow, without names and quotation marks while talking was even hard for me to follow. Also they need tough skin because this book will rip you to shreds. But overall it was good. I will comment on Colin V's and Jeremy O's Book Blog

I agree that people that have no home to go to could relate to this book. The ending was tragic but without it the book wouldn't of had a more interesting ending. What did you think of the death of the father?

The ending was indeed tragic. The death of the Man really changed the mood of the story. If there was a sequel what do you think it would be about?

I disagree with your statement that a theme of the book is homelessness. I understand that since they have no home to return to they are therefore "Homeless" but the thing is that they never had a home. And since the story is more about the journey they are on I would say that the theme of protecting family/ loved ones is more prevalent than Homelessness.
