Review of Nation by Terry Pattchett Short review - It must be one of the best book I had read so far! Emotional, smart, funny, romanic and so very brilliant! Must read! 5/5 Longer review The Nation started off with Mau the 15 years old boy who had gone to the boy island to leave his boy soul behind and return to his Nation to receive his Man soul. Most culture have some sort of coming of age ritual in which the boy became a boy, and in Singapore we call this ritual “National Service” in which boys who was over 18 years old must serve under the army for 2 years and so I can understand what it is like to be like Mau, who had to prove himself by performing this ritual. And like most boys, we are afraid of this ritual as we are unsure of what to do and when to do it. Unlike most boys who are able to return home after their ritual, Mua’s island was strike by a huge tsunami wave that had engulfed his own island. The stage is set for Mua to survive and somehow find meaning to continue
