Positive aspects
This book apart from being an historical book advises about moral values.We learn about life and its principles.i have also like the way the author blends history and fiction ,that is an amazing match and it is well done surely due to the military services of colonel David Sutheland and Paul mcKellips experience in orient.we are very exited about finding the significance of the stars.There is no mistakes apart from some words the meaning is difficult to find.
Negative aspects
As it is a good edited book ,i don’t find out some negative aspects ,.
I will advise this book for readers from seven years as it is a historical and adventurous book ,that provides us with good moral values and principles to follow in life .It is good for kids and, teenagers to help them developp good mindsets and for adults to keep ethic and relax.
I give 4 out of 4 to this book
