A new student review of The Giant (Bareknuckle) by Jonathan Mary-Todd

wallace.madi posted a new student review of The Giant (Bareknuckle) by Jonathan Mary-Todd. See the full review.

The Giant  by Jonathan Mary-Todd was an inspiring book overall, with extremely lifelike settings and dialogue. Some of the events were a little bit unrealistic, but they added to the adventurous nature of the book. Luc's journey was full of relatable emotions and endearing struggles, It seemed unlikely that he could be below the radar of all authorites as the story portrays him, and his background information is rather vague. However, I was immediately transported into his world and fully absorbed in his situation. I would recommend this book for mature young readers looking for a fast-paced adventure story.
