Title: Not what I expected
Review: I wasn't at all impressed with this book for a few reasons. Although the pictures were beautiful and tried most desperatly to pull us into the story, we just couldn't get to the same place that the author must have been while writing the book. Maybe after reading just the first sentence: "Sometime after summer is spent but before jack-o'-lanterns are lit, it's apple picking time.", which seems to assume that everyone is interested in celebrating Halloween.In addition to this, the book speaks twice about "the purple ticket" that gets punched with a half moon. I still can't figure out what that is for. There are no explanations about the meaning of this and that is frustrating because it seems important but only the writer knows why. The sad part is that he kept this detail to himself and it's annoying.We tried to enjoy this book, but at this point its end will be in our Goodwill pile.
Is the review positive or negative?
