Boy kills Man, Matt Wyham

In the streets of Columbia, the poverty is so high that rich gang leaders can hire kids to do their ‘dirty work’. And they do just so, getting kids to kill and paying them next to nothing.

            Alberto and ‘Shorty’ have known each other since they can remember, and the two kids have all day to kill in the streets of Medellín. But when Alberto comes home with a wad of cash and a new jacket, Shorty is suspicious, and obviously asks questions. Questions Alberto won’t answer. And then, Shorty gets a glimpse at Alberto’s gun.

            A great book, about love and hate, with an ending just as shocking as the subject itself. Matt Wyham obviously put a lot of thought into this book, as the Shorty’s feeling are described in such a way that you feel he thinks he’s right, but you also have doubts about the way he considers his surroundings. 8/10
