Ratings and reviews

Akela is a perfect book you can buy as a gift to anyone regardless of their age! Normally, I don't read a lot of books because I'm more of a movie person. However, this is one of the few books that I really enjoyed reading in a long time. Akela is simple and easy to read but a kind of book which makes you think about the meanings behind it. I love this book!
