It is amazing

If you like an adventure then this is the book for you

I love the book it’s amazing I wouldn’t change a thing about it

If you are around 9 or 10 you may like to book it is very great

Hard to work out what's happening

The action jumps from place to place with little linking. I really had very little clue where anything went or why anyone was doing anything. Great performance, terrible scripting. Guess I'll have to get the actual book to find out what the deal is. I know this series is very popular. Maybe the writers assumed everyone listening would have read the books already?

Don't bother with this if you don't know the story.
