    Good beside read.

    Not my usual sort of book but heard good things and I was not disappointed. Once you get into it it's very hard to put down and before you know it you're at the end. Can't wait to get the second one.

    Not to my taste

    Its a decent enough story, well written, so far as it goes. But for me it suffers most from the ending, which was changed considerably for the film and very much for the better. The problem, for my taste, is that the book ends "all at sea". Essentially it is a section from a single long story split across several "separate" books. So if you want an actual ending, you will need to buy them all, or watch the film, or maybe just buy the last book whenever it is published.

  • My 13yr old son loves it.

    This is an interesting and quirky book that he is really enjoying. He says it better than the film and there are some big differences. He would recommend.
