I really enjoyed reading this book and it was a great story. I love how Kieran tries to uncover the truth. At the beginning I wasn’t very happy about reading it but after a few chapters I was very curious about what was gonna happen next and I would really recommend this book.-A
I am a huge murder/crime fan and this book was amazing. It had very strong characters. Kim has a lovely way of narrating and telling the story. (5/5)-P
It is a book about a guy, Kieran Woods, who is determined to find out about what happened about the death of a homeless man who was found in a river. (4/5)-J
It ended the way I expected it to but it didn’t start the way I was expecting it to. It took
way longer than I expected for the action to happen. I really liked the character
Kieran as he was a really good artist and had a good eye for solving murders. I liked
the plot and enjoyed the way she created the characters and settings. I enjoyed the
style of her writing because there was a lot going on so because there was so much
going on it kept pulling me into the book. At the end it made me feel happy and sad
at the same time. I recommend Smart to people who love murder mystery and
detective novels.
I give it 4 and a half STARS.-L
I really enjoyed this book as the characters made my heart melt. For example, the main character cared that a homeless man died even though the police didn’t mind much and the boy still kept trying to find out who did it. Overall this book was sad, sweet and heartwarming and I would definitely recommend it as a murder mystery. Warning – it’s a bit gory at the beginning but nice and friendly after! 4/5.
It is amazing – a murder mystery that at some points is sad but it has an unexpected twist at the end. 5 stars.-A
It’s a nice mysterious crime story with a boy as a detective. Has loads of cliffhangers each chapter. Amazing if you like mysteries and crime scenes. 4 stars.-E
The book Smart in my opinion was a good fun to read book because it was very intriguing and I enjoyed how the author laid the book out . Would read again!-L
Smart is a very good book, with lots of engaging sections about the quest to find a murderer. However it was just a bit slow to start off with, and a bit of relativeness was a bit annoying. But as soon as you passed the first 8th of the book, it really starts to get on its feet. It has great suspension when you think he’s found the murderer, but he is wrong. Overall, this was a very good book, and I really enjoyed it. It was only the start that let it down in the slightest. If there were ratings it would be 4.5 stars.
