I really liked this story a lot. The two brothers in the story definitely reminded me of me and my siblings in the way that they fought all the time, but really always knew that they loved each other and needed each other. The story strung me along and kept me reading. I wished that it would have gone into more depth about the relationships in the book; for example, the relationship between the boys and their parents, or their relationship with the old man who takes them in. I feel like a lot of moments were passed by and should have been elaborated on more. For example, it says that one of the characters, Nathan, who takes the boys in, took care of them and loved them like his own sons, when they had no one else. Nathan dies, and this is only briefly touched on or mentioned, and I didn’t necessarily feel anything. I had to reread it to realize that he had died. Also, at the end they surprisingly reunite with their parents, and I feel like that moment is glossed over as well. Some moments like this were a little diluted. It was such a strong storyline, and I think I liked that more than the actual writing itself.
