This book always kept me on the edge of my seat and every plot twist was totally unexpected. Each character have a different back story, but they were easy to follow.
The book could be very relatable to someone who has anxiety or is a close friend or relative of someone who has anxiety. Mental illness and fear plays quite a big part of the story, which is quite unusual for a children’s book. Overall, an amazing book.
It was great because it tells you something then something different which gives the book an edge. It’s good in that the author has related the book to people who have these conditions because it shows that even if you are dealing with immense stress, like Anni, there is help no matter what the problem is. Also it teaches you that nothing is ever as it seems.
Really good plot and story. It’s Gripping and there are lots of plot twists, I would recommend it.
I agree Lula, Anni is the kind of girl who I can imagine would be a great friend to have.
13 Hours is a brilliant book, one of the best I have read in a while it kept me in suspense and I couldn’t put it down. The character of Anni is a lovely, caring young girl and I think it would be nice if there was more people with a personality like her. Despite all the sadness and troubles going on she manages to stay strong.
I expected it to be amazing, as it is, because I have read a book series by her (the friendship game) and it was a brilliant series.
I would recommend this book to anyone liking dramatic and mysterious books.
