Once I got over the "duh" factor of realizing that S Morgenster was a fictional character that Goldman made up and that this wasn't really an abridged copy but the actual book I really got to where I enjoyed it. The way he wrote about the abridgment and "changes" kinda threw me off some.
Since i loved the movie I liked that the movie so closely resembled the book and really the only parts that were different were the extra stuff that wasn't in the movie like where some of the characters came from.

But I loved reading it. I read it in one night as once I started reading it I was pretty quickly engrossed in it.

Good pick!

I thought this was a bit of an odd book through most of it, but by the end I found myself enjoying it. Oddly enough I didn't realize I was reading a quest book until about half way through. I thought it had a great ending and a nice message to end the quest with.

I see a lot of reviewers who didn't like the dialog in the book because they said they talked to grown up for teenagers but I think you do sometimes get teenagers that are and do think and speak the way these kids do so I didn't have a problem with it.

It is the only one I have ever read, I'll have to check out some of his others.



I added this to my TBR list, it sounds like one I would like.
