Something I liked about the book

One thing that I liked about this book was how it was so interesting and had a ton of detail, especially for such a short book. It also made me, as a reader, feel multiple emotions. I'd laugh when there was a funny part in the book, and I'd cry when it got sad (well not really cry). All of the characters were beautifully illustrated to make it seem as though they were right in front of you, and the author did a great job of keeping you intrigued throughout the book. Though off to a slow start, it quickly caught my attention. This book is something I'd definetly recommend to everyone.

Something I disliked about the book

One thing I disliked about the book was the begining. This is because the author made what could have been a great and action-packed begining into that of what even a kindergartener would have hated. Now that's not to say I don't like the book, I'm just stating that the beginning could have been done way better.
