Review by developer: * Een geweldige boeken app. Net als je denkt dat je een leuke keuze gemaakt hebt in het verhaal, gaat het eigenlijk de hele andere kant op... Zelfs wanneer je denkt het einde van het boek bereikt te hebben, begint het met een ander verhaal, weliswaar met dezelfde acteurs, maar toch met een hele andere kijk erop! Leuk en mooi gemaakt. Ik wil zeker even complimenteren zoals men de monden gemaakt heeft en ze praten, het is net echt! Leuk om te lezen en zien, en toch ook educatief. Zeker de moeite waard om te kopen!
