Negative Positive
Title: Too Short!
Review: First of all, the actual story is ONLY 47 pages long, and to add to that the print is HUGE, and there are pictures on the pages. I had just finished reading the His Dark Materials and loved it so I thought this book may be interesting enough to read. The story isn't very good at all. There's no excitement, I do understand that this is a "stepping stone" book, leading up to the "The Book of Dust" however, it's hardly worth reading. I gave it 2 stars because it does include some interesting "artifacts" which may be useful once "Dust" comes out. I just wish Mr. Pullman would hurry up with it! I can't imagine the wait some people (who got this book back in 2003) have endured. Hopefully the new book will be out soon. Overall, this story took about 15 minutes to read, but I would recommend it to anyone who plans on reading the next book, solely for the materials it comes with.
Is the review positive or negative?
