The start of the book was very slow and boring. I can't even sympathize with Zanna and Deeba, they were as flat as characters can be. So I lose interest.
Until Part IV, that is. Things began to get interesting when Deeba takes charge. There were plenty of things to marvel, as Mr Mieville has quite an imagination! So this book is worth reading, if only you can stand the first few chapters.. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75584880 to: The Penderwicks on Gardam Street (Hardcover) by Jeanne Birdsall

I wish that I can forget whatever I've read in this book. It ruins Ender's Game for me. And I only read halfway! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64771502 to: Detektif Indigo Kembali by Faisal Tehrani

Buku ini bagi saya mengecewakan.. Mungkin sebab saya tak baca buku sebelumnya, Siri Detektif Indigo Ikan Fugu, Lukisan & Jimson kot?

Jika dibandingkan dengan Detektif Indigo (buku 1), buku ini agak hambar, ceritanya kelam-kabut. Kes yang terakhir, kes remaja perempuan indigo mati dibunuh tu saya rasa tak perlu pun. Anti klimaks sungguh. Tak ada kaitan dengan kes sebelumnya, bukan juga sebagai pengenalan untuk buku seterusnya. Tiada kesinambungan. Seolah-olah kes tu ditambah untuk beri peluang pada Faruk dan Mihrimah tunjuk skill je..

Lagipun, terlalu banyak watak-watak baru(?) muncul menyebabkan watak-watak asal tenggelam, dan watak-watak baru ni tak dikembangkan dengan baik.. Kalau suruh saya tulis balik nama senior-senior tu, maaflah, saya tak dapat nak ingat, mereka langsung tidak memberi impak pada ingatan saya! Kan bagus kalau fokus pada remaja berenam tu, dan biar nampak perkembangan mereka sebagai detektif, sedikit demi sedikit..

Sayang sungguh, saya mula suka dengan kisah detektif-detektif Indigo ni.. (atau mungkin harapan saya terlalu tinggi pada perkataan 'detektif' itu sendiri?) ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64772758 to: Odds Are Good: An Oddly Enough and Odder Than Ever Omnibus (Magic Carpet Books) by Bruce Coville
