Negative Positive
Title: I kept thinking it would get better...
Review: But it didn't. I even read the next 2 in the series, hoping things would look up. All in vain. The characters were flat, the plot was uninteresting, and Charlie was one of the dullest heros I've ever had the displeasure to encounter. Reading these books was like walking down a street in the suburbs and looking in the windows - sometimes boring, sometimes a bit more interesting, but you can't hear what's going on and don't know enough to care.One other thing - I've read all the reviews (20 pages!) and I've seen people state that this would be appropriate for younger ages. Almost as if they're trying to say that a book for younger readers is allowed to be written poorly. This seems so wrong to me. I read and reread children's books all the time, and my favorite books are ones that are well written, whether it's A Wrinkle in Time or Green Eggs and Ham.
Is the review positive or negative?
