Honestly, I didn't love this. I thought was a fine book, but not really much more than that. I never really clicked with the writing style and it just felt too young. I've read books narrated by children before where there's somewhat of an adult theme behind the childish voice, but I didn't get that so much with this. I almost wish it had been written for nine year olds because I think I might have liked it more. I just wound up feeling kind of disappointed. It wasn't bad, but not for me.

I can see how this story might have worked better in a movie format and I'm really excited to eventually see the movie.
