evaluation: 4stars
This is interesting story for me. Allie is disliked by his family because his thinking in hard to understand. I think he should hear more opinions. If he hears more opinions, he is not killed by other people. It is unfortunate for his family that three robbers broken in to his home. I want to read this book again because I want to understand about Allie`s thinking more.(68words)
