Bewertung (3 Sterne):

Ich fand das Buch insgesamt ganz nett, aber nicht überragend. Die Geschichte ist kindgerecht und leicht verständlich, allerdings fehlte mir ein wenig Tiefgang oder eine besondere Botschaft, die auch Erwachsene ansprechen könnte. Für Kinder dürfte das Buch durchaus unterhaltsam sein. Dennoch hat es mich persönlich nicht komplett überzeugt – vielleicht einfach Geschmackssache. Für junge Leser sicher eine schöne Lektüre, für Erwachsene eher eine nette, aber nicht außergewöhnliche Erfahrung.

I found it a bit boring at first, but as the story went on it got entertaining. :) a slightly predictable ending, but still enjoyed it!

Listened to this one with my girls - they enjoyed it. It's fantasy - a kid gets sucked into a website about Amadans - little creatures who can paralyze humans, but usually only paralyze to stop bad people from doing bad things. But some rogue Amadans are on the loose and the main characters can help...I like the Irish brogue fo the reader, but didn't love his voices all the time

This book is meant for 8-10 year olds and was a bit silly and unbelievable. The children were able to overcome evil and succeed while being good so I guess it is a good book for kids who enjoy fantasy. It's definitely no Harry Potter.

Picked this up at the Nottingham bookcrossing meet as the cover looked pretty and the authors name sounded cool

Shame it was a pile of poo!
