A decent read. Definitely doesn't feel like a children's book even though that's where my library has it shelved. You can tell the age of this book but it still holds up relatively well.

The first 2 chapters were interesting, then it just fell through the floor in boredom for the rest of the book until the last 3 chapters. Overall, not great, but still not terrible.
