have to find a way to spend the money as quickly as possible…
Personal
opinion :
I
choose this book because the bookseller recommended it to me. I asked for advice
to a book with an intermediate level and with humour, adventure or suspense. It
is a short and amusing tale about two brothers trying to make sense of a fortune. It makes you think about what you
would do with a million pounds to be spent in 17 days…
I enjoyed this book
because it is a child’s point of view
about the power of the money. It is very funny and extraordinary story.
I would recommend this
book to a person who likes a funny read and who has a good sense of humour.
Some passages are boring when the boy doesn’t stop talking about saints.
