The Last Wild
by Piers Torday
I thought the premise of this book sounded good and it was alright. The first part was boring. This is not a good thing as the first part was 50 pages long. If I was not so close to the second part and willing to give this book a little more of a chance. The second part is where the story did pick up in the speed. This is because than Kester had escaped his prison and was with the animals. I liked the talking animals. However not too fond of the cockroach. Not because it was annoying or anything but because I don't like cockroaches.
It is kind of funny as I liked the descriptive details that the author gave as it helped to build the world that Kester was in with the animals. However on the same note, it was all the details that I did find boggled the story down as well. It kept it from moving as flowy. I think that my nephews will find the same issue about the details as well. Children at times do not have a long attention span so to give so much detail can drag the story out. Which actually without a little less detail, this book would have ended sooner and it would have still been ok. I liked the animals more. The animals were more interesting then Kester.
