"Be mindful of the age of your listener"
I, as an adult, found it interesting. My seven year old son found the bad things that happen to the children disturbing. He especially had problems with the baby being bound and gaged and hung out a window. I am told in book #2 the same baby is threatend with having her toe cut off? An age recommendation would be nice.
"Who?"
This book has so much potential. Sadly it bogs the listener down with so many unpronounceable names which render them unmemorable and you find yourself say, "Who?? If the writer had just stayed in the present and provided the back stWho?ory through discovery it could have left you feeling educated at the same time entertaining. I hope the book version is easier to follow.
