A review by cheshirematt
Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

I can't even gather my thoughts well enough to write a cohesive review so I'm just going to keep it short and simple.
This book was a solid 5/5 the entire way through. Some books have their ratings either dropped or picked up within various parts of the book, but this book was constant throughout the entire journey.
I have not cried this much for a book more than this one. And it is very rare that I cry after reading books.
This book just moved me so much. It really hit home for me and it hit really hard.
I will continue to love this book time and time again because the ending was so realistic. It was so bittersweet and I'm not sure if I love the ending or hate it. I just know that the ending makes me very emotional and perfectly sums up the entire book within one sequence.
I love this book so much. It's now one of my favourites of all time. Do yourself a favour and read it.
And if you decide to, just know you're going to fall in love with Zan, the Chimpanzee.
Congratulations, Kenneth Oppel, for creating one of the best books of all time.
And thank you.
