Title: interesting idea poorly executed
Review: I'm sorry to disagree with so many others who found this book 'delightful' but aside from the idea, which is a very good one, there was very little else to like about this book. As someone else suggested, perhaps it was poorly translated, in which case the author is absolved of any guilt. But if not, then this was one of the most boring kids books I've ever read. I honestly didn't care much about any of the characters and at times almost hoped they'd all get killed off so the story would be over. At other times I just skipped ahead to get it over with. Of course, if you're ten, you may not have noticed.
Is the review positive or negative?
