King of Nothing
It makes you bond with all the characters and shows you that even in the face hardship you can still pull through and make everything work out just fine. I found the book easy to read and it flowed well, I finished it really quickly and I would read more books written by Nathanael Lessore.

I liked this book because it showed how much people change as they grow up. The book is about a group of boys who go to school together but begin to grow apart. One of them gets in with the wrong crowd while another becomes very good at rugby. The story is quite enlightening but has some older content so I would recommend this book for Year 8 or above.

King of Nothing
I liked this book because it had an interesting view of high school which I hadn't considered before. The book is about a boy who is meant to be one of the "cool kids" who are always disruptive and rude but who is actually a nice person. Although he hasn't had an easy life he is happy to make friends with less "cool" characters. He is a quite inspiring person who many people could learn from. The story is quite funny and engaging and therefore I would recommend this book for KS3 just like Nathanael Lessore's other book Steady For This.

King of Nothing
The King of Nothing is about a boy called Anton and he is currently the King of his school with his friend group/gang and is supposedly living his best life. But this is all about to change when his mum gets on his nerves so his reputation is about to hit a downfall. Now his mum is going to give him punishments but these punishments may well turn his life around. I quite like the book as it involved a lot about school life and how a 'gangster' can become better through unexpected ways.

The Things We Leave Behind
This book is quite dark and very interesting. The book was very immersive and it captivated me. It shows that not everything will last forever

King of Nothing
I read King of Nothing after enjoying Steady for This which is also a novel written by Nathanael Lessore, who in my opinion is a fantastic author! King of Nothing felt quite nostalgic for me as the book centres around the lives of teenagers. It also describes the trouble with gangs and violence. I also really like the way Anton unexpectedly befriends Matthew. What will be his crowning glory?
Read the book to find out!
I recommend King of Nothing for all readers. 10/10
