As much as I try, I
tend to not be a fan of classics. I
usually find them difficult to follow because of the older writing style. I did
not experience that aspect with this novel. Ultima is the intriguing person and I loved the
relationship she has with Antonio. I
found the plot very interesting, but my mind would start wandering as I read.
Certain parts wouldn’t hold my interest and then I realized I missed something important. However, even more
annoying was the fact that Antonio is in 1st/2nd grade
for the entirety of the novel but he sounds like he is, at least, in high
school. He didn't act, speak or think like a 7/8 year old. I often forgot that
he is so young. I do think others will
appreciate the novel, especially those that are fans of classics.
