I hate sequels, but in this case it worked! The Old Man and The Boy was great, this one is too. I would recommend this one for any age. I am a big "rereader" and this one is certainly on my list of rereads. In my opinion, these two books are the author's best work, much better than most of his fiction.

A brilliant sequel to the book "The Old Man and the Boy. Very moving, an excellent account of a man's memories of the lessons taught to him by his Grandfather, "The Old Man". We were moved to tears, both my husband and our grandson have a copy. Marvellous!

The reason it's second-best, is that the first book, "The Old Man and the Boy", is the best. Buy them both, read the other one first. If you can, read them when you're 13 or 14 and you're just starting to get good at hunting. If you can't, then just read them anytime, anywhere.
