Review title: Great cover
Product review: I am a homeschool mom (son now 24), and I tutor Middle School students in math and English. A 4th grader brought this in. He had a book report due and was still on chapter 1. I decided to read it with him, just to get an idea of the book and to encourage him.By the end of the second chapter, I suggested he pick another book. For a start, the writing is awkward; it is just not good prose. The fantasy world is not created well, lacks so much I don't know where to start. Second, it is sinister and violent, right from the start. A baby is kidnapped by Bad Guys; he misses his mom, mourns with the other captives. Not uplifting in any way. As another reviewer said, there is way too much talk about ripping out gizzards and throwing up pellets. I don't know, just too graphic and uninteresting.I can see why my student did not like it. I always challenge my students to recognize poor writing and put badly written books aside. This is definitely in that category.Nice cover, tho.
