Title: Disapponting
Review: Without reading it first, I chose this book to be part of my son's summer book club, because I thought it would be fun for the kids to read the book and then go see the movie. I read the book on the way to and from a SF Giant's game (Go Giants!) and was extremely disappointed. The story was dry and lacking in character development. The book zipped through events with very little detail. I honestly think that if this book were submitted to a publisher now, that it would be rejected. It's a cute idea for a book, but the writing was not what I expected for a story that was made into a movie and praised so highly by so many people.
Is the review positive or negative?
