Title: Disappointing .........
Product review: This is the second John Bellairs story I've purchased and read to my 8 and 10 year old kids and they disliked it even more than I did. In their words: "boring!". The characters aren't developed all that well, the story is uneven and the ending is anticlimatic. Rather than "being on the edge of our seats" we kept waiting for something of real interest to develop and once finished, we were more than happy to put this one behind us and move on to the latest Harry Potter book. Forgive me all you John Bellairs fans, but after reading two of his supposedly best books (this one and The House With The Clock In Its Walls) I think we'll try some other recommended authors.
