Title: Not so good...
Product review: This book, one of the son/mother collaborations, is just not good. Compared to the original books of the series, there is little character development, a completely simple and one dimensional story line, and a lot of cliches. I had my teenagers laughing over some of the maudlin prose. Very disappointing, with none of the rich description and depth or complexity of the older works. And speaking as a woman, it seems that it was written more by a man than a woman. Don't buy it - check it out from the library and be happy you saved the money.
