Title: Don't Believe the Hype
Review: Jim the Boy is terribly overrated, with a cast of cardboard characters and a wooden tone. Apparently many critics don't know how to distinguish between spare, basic prose and dumbed-down bad writing. The author is probably laughing his way to the bank, especially now that a sequel has been published. I'll just let them fall all over themselves and take a pass. God forbid there should be a movie forthcoming.
