Title: So much possibility, so little result
Product review: Disclaimer: I couldn't finish it.My son and I read about 1/2 this book before finally closing it for good. Perhaps that tells you all you need to know. We kept reading, wanting to like the book, wanting to see if SOMETHING was going to happen, anything. But chapter after chapter only got us more confused and frustrated. Even as we gave up, the action was picking up -- but too little, too late.There was a real sense of originatlity to this book, a sense of going where no kid's book had gone before. But in the end, all that originality lacked purpose -- original ideas need to point to something. This book had no point. But then, we only made it through half of it. Maybe your 9-year-old has more patience than mine. Check that: has more patience than me!!!
