The boy and the samurai

I think that this book is not very interesting because so far all that the main character has done was begging a lot of people for food. Or explain his experiences of getting food from a priest or inn keeper. But recently he had an experience where he and a bunch of people stopped a robbery. This was the most interesting part of the book and still it was really boring to read about. I think he will end up staying with the people that he helped and become a samurai.
