There's no use lying about it; I was deeply disappointed in this book. I absolutely loved Bridge to Terabithia, which I read about two years ago, so I had high hopes for this book. It was a small book, with a nice cover, and I liked the feeling of holding it in my hands. Basically, I would have enjoyed this book far more if I'd just held it instead of actually opening it and reading it. I started it in the car on the way up to Oklahoma City and finished it the next day. And I only really enjoyed about fifteen minutes of the total reading. Even with my super-speed reading, I find that to be a very very poor ratio.

929750 I agree with you and I have added my own review of this book as well, although, I suppose I could have just said "ditto" to yours and saved myself the trouble. Annette
