Aaand that's it for now, the second grader asked if we can move on to something else. He says he wants to come back to it sometime, but if I know my son, we never will. We'll see, but for now I'm glad to be done with it since we have so many other books to try.

The prose in this stinks too, or maybe it's the punctuation, because reading it aloud is difficult. It's often hard to determine what the heck is being said as it rambles on.

Well I'm reading this to my 7-year-old, in hopes that reading it "through his eyes" will help me understand or like it better than I did the first time. But so far, nope, still think it's a terrible book chock full of Deus Ex Machina and not particularly interesting or enjoyable in any other regard. My son also seems bored of it--he turned off the light in the middle of story time last night.

This book sucks, and i am not looking forward to slogging through 84 more pages.

I need to hurry up and finish this in the next few days so I am free to read Cold Days when it comes out.
