Icefire by Chris d’Lacey. I’m now just re-reading it just for fun and to remember how the plot goes.

Don’t read that book, it’s horrible.

Its acutally one of the best biography’s ive ever read…

I’ve recently finished Born on a Blue day by Daniel Tammat, an excellent read.

I guess you didn’t know much about him, or were interested in him before picking up the book, cause you would be disgusted with it.
