Title: Deceptive Reviews
Product review: I bought this book for my 12 year old son, based on its glowing reviews. I'm glad I read it first, because I'm sure he would have disliked it as much as I did. The characters are flat, unengaging, and undeveloped, the plot unfocused and without tension. The author seemed intent on giving us his "message" while ignoring the elements of good fiction. A boring, preachy read, with little to appeal to the adult or child reader.
