Kits Wilderness (1/1 people found this helpful)

Kits wilderness is a book about a boy called kit who lives in stoney gate. It's set in real life, but then things change, and you start to get a mix of fantasy and real life. He meets a boy called John Askew, who is surrounded by evil, and plays a sinister game called death. This story blends fantasy and non fantasy very cleverly, until you're not sure which parts are fantasy and which are real. I realy enjoied this book, and i'm 13, so I think it's suitable for anyone around my age, and up to adult!
Overall 5 stars!!!

Once again David Almond has produced a masterpiece! Kits wilderness what a book! The book is set in stoneygate a small mining town. This book is a book set in real life but it is thrown into the world of evil, darkness and death. This is a great book full of great detail. There is a main character which david almond portraits brillantly. His name is christopher watson - kit - and he is the boy who is thron into the world of darkness. He is acompined by John Askew a boy intised by evil who runs the game called death. In this game a knife is spun and whoever it lans on "dies". Is this real? Are the people pretending? You must make your own decision what you believe by reading the book yourself. I would just like to say it is a great book and david almond creates the atmosphere and characters in a great way. Enjoy!! :)
