Title: Vastly overrated for adults....for young only
Review: I was recommended this book by the myriads of devoted fans. I approached this book from the standpoint that it is essentially written for younger folk. I am 34, but so many adults swore that this was a great work of fantasy that I decided to give it a try. I have a rule. If, after the first 100 pages, Im not interested enough to go on, I just stop right then and there. This book sadly falls into that category. I am very surprised that so many adults feel that this is a major work of fantasy. It pales in comparison to most writers. The writing is not all that good. The story is comical to an extent and has moments of imagination, but not nearly enough to recommend. From the youth standpoint, I can somewhat see that an interesting and comical story is developing and I am always for youth reading more and more books. It will lead to reading better and more thought provoking books eventually. For adults, however, this book has nothing to offer.
Is the review positive or negative?
