It was a mix of a childish book and a raw one. Some parts were not at all for children, and I found them harsh even as an adult, but then the ending was very unrealistic. I didn't like that the characters were happy to have saved Aman without even mentioning that there were many other people who were still imprisoned. All in all I found it a bit unbalanced.
