I always say: The importance is not the length of the book, the importance is the quality!And this one is a GOOD book. I'm really surprised on how good it is.It's a TOTALLY different Dystopia. First of all, you really can relate to this world and most of the time it didn't feel like a future world. The decadence, the sorrow and the sadness of the environment are some kind of what we are living nowadays. The lifestyle that Jon has sometimes felt like a premonition of things to come if we don't change a thing or two.The story in The Last Tree is so deep because is written from the point of view of Jon. If you ever felt a little bit depress or sad, or life has been not as good as you wish, you will understand him.I have to say that the only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is that the first page was a little hard to read (maybe for me is was hard to imagine where it was going or something) but then when I finally began to understand the story I was blown away from the great skill writing of Almon.The fact that you never have an exact description of where and when the story is taking place -you only have small clues to where it is set- is a better ingredient for a great mystery.Overall a very recommendable reading!
