Do you like "When my name was Keoko"?

I do not like "When my name was Keoko", because it is not my type of novel, it has no real suspense, and it is not my taste. I prefer action packed/ suspenseful books, unlike "When my name was Keoko", it is quite short, and about a topic that I am not really interested in. Furthermore, I can not relate to the characters as much as I can with other novels, with details that I find uninteresting. In conclusion, I do not like "When my name was Keoko"

The best book I've ever read O.o




The book I name "The best book I've ever read" is called The Secrets of Nicholas Flamel:Necromancer.It is book number 3 of the famous "The Secrets of Nicholas Flamel" series. It is the best book I've ever read because it is packed with thrill, suspense and action, twisted with a little bit of betrayal. The book has a certain degree of "swag" to it :)) , I've secretly fantasized to be a mage when I was little, reading this book takes me on a journey back to my childhood fantasies.
