Review title: This will not be a popular review -- I don't like this book!
Product review: I'm disappointed -- the reviews had led me to expect something outstanding. Instead, I found the plot improbable and the writing uneven. My first "gripe" came with the depictions of the children -- has the author ever SEEN or BEEN CLOSE to a child? Then, when the children are heading up to their great-grandmother's, the description of the mountain scenery and culture is definitely beautiful and compelling . . . but he talks about things that only an adult (and an adult familiar, for example, with architecture) could know -- while it is supposed to be seen through the eyes of a 12 year-old-girl. It gets worse, but I'll leave this to others to describe. Many people say they enjoy this book, so it's probably worth buying so you can form your own opinion.
