Title: Best For Teens
Review: While I agree with some of the responses from the "1 star" and "5 star" crowd the reality is that this book was written by a 15 year old and it DOES show in his writing. Nonetheless, younger, less critical readers will find this book rather enjoyable. I know I did when I was 15. Like the Harry Potter series, this is a series you are meant to start young and grow with.The story is interesting without being overly complicated, and the relationship aspects of the story keep the reader empathetic. Sometimes the language is awkward, but I see that as an addition to the tale rather than a detraction. It also makes sense for the main character, who is a young teenager, to be socially awkward when speaking with much older and more mature audiences. All in all this is a coming of age story sheathed in fantasy.Thus I give it 4 stars for "I like it" because when I was younger I loved the book and now that I am older I see some of the flaws that a mature author perhaps wouldn't make.
Is the review positive or negative?
