I really liked this book. It's was really interesting. i kind of thought it was cool because those boys were like ... in the same room but they didn't talk to each other and they didn't have names. I really liked how Gopal [spoiler]. 3 stars.

Boys without names is an okay book. I felt sooooo bad for the family because they had to move. I want to get in that book and give them all my money & help them. 3 stars because it wasn't very interesting.

Awesome book! Well, that is, in my opinion.. I am Indian (but I do not speak Hindi, by any means!) so I can understand the mixed words in the text. However you can go to the back of the book and look up the words. Anyhow, the plot is great and the cleverness of the main character is shown throughout the book. 5 stars.

This book read like a diary which was a little boring. I did not enjoy the book because of the idea of boys being captured and treated like slaves. 3 stars.
