Ovo je jedna od onih knjiga za koju su mi vezana najranija secanja kada mi je baka citala knjige posto sam nisam znao da citam. Samim tim tesko mi je da budemobjektivan sa ovakvim stavrima pa necu ni biti :P

Knjiga je odlicna avanturisticna prica za mladju ali i stariju publiku koja prikazuje sve lep

I found the movie on Netflix last year and then saw it was based on a book. It was written in Polish about 1905 and translated in 1911. It was really gripping and kept me thinking what else is going to happen and how are they going to get out of that situation. I like books like this and Out of Afri
