Book Review: Trash

In a place where trash is not trash but a bridge to food and life, come three dumpsite boys – Raphael, Gardo, and Rat – who are about to embark on a dangerous journey that will change their lives forever.

One unlucky-lucky day, Raphael finds a black leather bag in the vast mountain of garbage, where he lives. Inside it is a wallet, which contains a few bills and some other interesting stuff. He decides to keep it. But when the police starts to search his area for a lost black leather bag, and offer a desirably large sum as a reward to the one who finds it, Raphael realises that his simple decision of keeping a piece of trash signed him up for the biggest mystery he and his friends are to face.

This fast-paced thriller by British author Andy Mulligan will tag you along in an unforgettable and heart-racing adventure that will help you unlock the dirty agendas of corrupt politicians, brutality of police officers, and the endless injustices the poor experience in a Third World country.

Trash is a great story about friendship, courage, and hope that doesn’t come by very often. It will keep the readers turning the pages till the very end, and make them realise how blessed they are to have a book in their hands, instead of a hook – like what the heroes of the story have – to help them get through everyday.
