That was pretty dark for a children's book. I enjoyed reading it and I loved how fast paced it was. I can't believe I never read it when I was younger...oh well I'm never too old for a childrens book :D
I enjoyed this book. As an adult I found the explanation of words a bit irritating but I think it was necessary for a younger audience and in that sense I thought it was well done.
