Opinion:
I have to say this book was a complete let down. When I read the description of the plot, it seemed to be great book. I read the author's last book, Kid vs. Squid, and it was fantastic. But, The Boy at The End of the World was simply boring. I found that the writing was poor and dull. The story dragged out, and I didnt like the overall format of the book. It seemed as though this book was rushed and done in a hurry. If youre in the mood for a great and fantastic book definitely try out Greg Van Eekhout's other book Kid vs. Squid.
