The other main reason for the lowered rating was the fact that Weston split the book into three parts but didn’t use it fully. To my mind, if you split a book into sections or parts, I would expect those parts to either be in a different perspective or to have a large jump in time, or some other good reason. When I was reading this book, I could not find any reason why it needed to be split up and so I was more irritated that it wasn’t left as a whole because that would’ve flowed a bit better.
Overall, ''The Piper'' is an easy to read, tension-filled book with a gripping storyline and distinctive characters. The few things that let it down were more about the writer’s choices of words and structural techniques than the actual plot which means that it still makes for a great read. We also have a review of Weston's [[Scarecrow by Danny Weston|Scarecrow]].
If this book appeals to you, then you might enjoy [[My Swordhand is Singing by Marcus Sedgwick]].
