I found the structure of this book really weird, some aspects are drawn out over 4 chapters, whereas others merely seem like a footnote also I did not like some decision that Alice made as they go against her character.
I really liked this book, it shows in a witty way how people who think they are superior can be dupped. Furthermore, it shows that blindly waiting for somethings does not help.
It was just a delight full little story about a turtle and two lovely people.
I really did not like this installment. I have enjoyed previous books with Robert Langdon but this one kind of felt forced. It seemed as if the author had forgotten everything that has happened in previous installments as there is no reference to it except to the Holy Grail once. Furthermore, I did not like the ending and a few plot devices that were used in the end as it seemed they were only there to shock the reader and not for any other purpose. I also found some plot lines were not explored completely and until the end, I did not know what was going on there or why it happened.
It was nice to see Alice try a new thing and how she graduated but the series has just somehow lost his spark for me. I will read the last two volumes so that I can finish out the series.
I loved to be back in the world of Redwood but in this installment, I had the feeling some things were done to bring the plot along that stand in quite a contrast to what the reader has experienced in previous installments. Nevertheless, it was still a beautiful love story and I am sad to see these characters go.
I really enjoyed Tiggy's story but it did not quite reach the level for me that the other installments have reached. I was really looking forward to reading her story and as much as I enjoyed reading about Scotland and Granada it did not really catch me quite as other stories in this series before. I am still looking forward to continuing the series as overall it is a fantastic series.
This seemed such a pointless book for me. I do not really know why it was written because it seems it was just here to get to the 28 books in the series and was pushed in before the last book.
I did not really enjoy this novel as much as I enjoyed other ones by Roald Dahl. It was still a story with a good moral but I found it quite onesided.
I had quite a hard time getting into this novel and connecting to the characters but I really fell in love with the story in the end. The last chapter of the novel is so beautiful and wholesome by showing that life can be good again after a tragedy. Therefore it is a 4 star read for me as the last chapter was really really good.
