My Views:

The novel is nicely written and keeps you gripped to it until you finish it. The feelings of a child are beautifully described which makes you feel that the author is a child himself. The incidences are put together in a line very nicely. The book is written in very casual English. The book describes the thought process of a d child who is confused yet very clear about his principles he learned from his father.
Book is written in a different manner but still after some time writing style becomes little monotonous and unnecessary details urge you to be skipped.

Conclusion:

The book is an exact depiction of a thought process of a person without missing anything. It describes the state of mind of a child very nicely. The book is nice but the story misses any sort of twist or turns. Too casual language and the cuss words, repetitive sentences and the same monotonous writing style however takes away the charm of the book.
