Second day he started to search of some dwelling. He went through the forest to the cave. When he saw the cave, he started to dream about a nice garden in the front of the cave.

My opinion:
The book is interesting, but I read this book for several time and for that reason the story wasn’t as thrilling as I read this book first time.
