Rating: 5/10This was a enjoyable read, with a very interesting premises. Great characters and evil villains! I was hooked from the beginning and the writing had a way of drawing me in. My only complaint is that it was drawn out unnecessarily.They were captured, then escaped and recaptured too freque...
A) It didn't feel like a children's book.B) It felt show-offy with the quotes from the other books (most of which I hadn't read). Just cuz I don't read classics, doesn't mean I'm any less addicted to books. Reverse snobbery didn't do it for me.C) It felt show-offy cuz Meggie's great aunt could affor...
I’ve read rave reviews for this book. Maybe it’s the fact that I read it while I had a cold, but it didn’t seem quite that good to me.

While I enjoyed embarking this journey with its main characters, Mo and Maggie, there were some other things t...
Rating: 2.5* of fiveA doorstop of a tome, it's way too long for the story. Meggie isn't interesting enough to make me want to follow her through the convolutions of discovery with Mo and Elinor. I can't believe this took over 500pp to tell!And yet, and yet...it's aimed at a very different demographi...
I gave up, which is an unusual thing for me to do and recently has occurred only when ill...having now largely recovered I'm not re-starting, though. Here's why:It's poorly written from a stylistic perspective. The book is a story about book lovers and magic associated with books. Funke thinks th...
