Reviews
It was a really good book and my favourite character was The Roadman. It was not exiting until Hanny, the main character left London but after that it was AMAZING!! I would definitely recommend this to experienced readers but make sure you can find out what words mean because some of them are tricky

This story is about a Scot called Richard Hannay, who had spent most of his life abroad and had just gone back to London. In the city, he grows bored, and stays like that until he meets an American, who tells him of an assassination plot. Four days later, the American is found dead, and the prime suspect is Richard. He then runs away to Scotland, and discovers a plot to start a war.

A bit difficult to get into at first but I soon enjoyed it. I would recommend this if you like murder mysteries.

I thought that this was a really interesting book. My favourite character was Hannay because he is the one that the story is about. I would recommend this book to someone else.
