Air never really enjoy reading in welsh, I just can't get into the story but unfortunately it's kind of compulsory now...
It took men well over half the book to start getting into it, which is too long. I lost interest in it white quickly, in my opinion a good book should grab and hold your attention from the first page, not once you've already passed the 60 page mark.
In think the storyline was okay, there was no real drama, but then again it is aimed at children a little younger than me.
Overall I give this book 3 stars, an okay plot but nothing very interesting...
