Title: Disappointed
Review: I'm slogging through this book with my 5 year old and it's got to be the most boring thing I've ever read. I realize he was writing for a different culture and time period, but that's no excuse for such bland, clunky prose. Interesting stuff happens - the Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse have marvelous potential, and General Jinjur and Baum's take on feminism should be a riot. Instead, their antics are described in such dry style that I have to re-read paragraphs to recognize the attempts at humor. I had high hopes for reading this series, but I think we're giving up and going back to Moomintroll.
