I enjoyed reading this book, but some parts seemed unbelievable. The boy, who is able to be the best soccer player on his team just one month from loosing his eye, seemed unrealistic. I think it would take a long time to adjust to the changes in perception and the soccer ball would seem more to the right or left of his vision. The ending of the book wrapped up a little too neatly for my tastes.
