![]() ![]() There was a period to set everything up, there was some excitement, there was a moment of calm, then more excitement, calm, excitement, calm, excitement! And I believe that is the entire rhythm of the book that I have just summed up for you. I was quite impressed with this one! I liked it very much actually, and it had a steady rhythm that made it easy to continue along. Frankly, three out of four of those are things I enjoy as well at my age. I assume there’s a lot in it that a child would like as well, such as adults being terrible, magic bears, shape-shifting demons, and children outwitting adults. Having just finished it today, I’m not sure what the target audience is! This is one of those books that has a main character who is a child and yet it’s extremely entertaining and accessible for an adult. ![]() I didn’t think it would be a bad book, but I wasn’t sure I was going to be the target age or audience at this point. Essentially, my expectations were kind of low going into this. Kind of like with Harry Potter, I figured that even if it was a good book it wouldn’t have the same impact on me as it might have at that time. Technically it came out when I wasn’t even 1 year old, so definitely not on my radar at that point. This is one of those books that I thought I missed the boat on because it came out when I was too young to read it. ![]()
