NIght bird is the story of a family socially isolated because of the son who due to a curse is born with wings.
It's a standard work of writing. Some people will really enjoy it. Appears to be written for a teenage appetite. While it kept my attention, it wasn't because of the action. No real surprises. It was easy to read but if it was a compelling read I would have finished it in one night.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
