Title: Not enough...
Product review: I read Ibbotson's "Island of the Aunts" and loved that book, so I picked up "Platform" and eagerly read through it. I was, however, disappointed with the predictable storyline. The only saving point was that the ending didn't happen quite like I thought it would, but the prince was still the prince and everyone lived happily ever after, yadda yadda yadda. Borr-ring.My qualm with Ibbotson is that her characters fall into only two strict polar catagories: good guys who have no faults, and bad guys who everything about them is a fault. That's that. Black and white. With no variation whatsoever.My advice: read Harry Potter, anything by Diana Wynne Jones or Lloyd Alexander. I do not recommend this book.
