Easy to read, I thought it would be very predictable but it wasn't that bad :) good and quick summer read.
Liked this (Dutch) quote and the beginning of a chapter (no spoiler):
"Wanhopen moet je nooit. Ik ken zelfs een kattendarm die het tot vioolsnaar bracht"

Echt zo'n origineel en mysterieus verhaal! Kan niet wachten tot ik de film kan zien.

Een van de leukste/spannendste kinderboeken die ik op volwassen leeftijd heb gelezen. Soms lees je kinderboeken die echt heel kinderlijk geschreven zijn. Je kunt je dan ook niet inleven in het karakter en de conflicten van het karakter zijn die van een typische 16 jarige. En dat is oke, maar als 21 jarige is dat soms moeilijk om in te leven.
In dit boek zit zoveel mysterie. Je wil graag weten hoe het allemaal zit en wat er verder gaat gebeuren.
Je komt samen met Sam er langzaam achter wat er allemaal gebeurd is voordat hij zijn geheugen kwijt is geraakt.
HET IS ZO SPANNEND!!!

Boy 7 is a Dutch-language stand-alone book, which while being immensely popular in the Netherlands (there's also a Dutch language film), doesn't seem to have been translated to English.
1-10 rating: 7
Genre: Sci-Fi/Thriller
Place it should be on your to-read list: Well, if you don't speak Dutch, you won't be able to read it anyway. If you do, I'd advise picking it up if you see it in a library but not going out of your way to get it.
The premiss: A boy wakes up on a desolate grass field with absolutely no memory of anything, including his own name. This only clues to his past are the strange collection of objects in his backpack, and with them, he embarks on a mission to find out who he is. (Although it is a bit of a spoiler, it's also worth noting that this is an evil-corporation-that's-trying-to-take-over-the-world kind of book)
Good points: Realistic, at least in terms how the characters act and what they do. As soon as you get to Part Two, the story picks up and gets engaging to the point of not wanting to put the book down.
Bad Points: The plot is nothing original; I've seen every similar things several times before. Also, before part two, I was a little bored and didn't find it very interesting.

Prima geschreven spannend jeugdboek dat goed in elkaar zat. Ik denk het leukst voor doelgroep vanaf groep 8 t/m tweede klas middelbare school. Las lekker weg voor tussendoor.
