My rating: 5 of 5
My thoughts on the book:
I loved it, loved it, loved it! First of all, I have to mention that for me books are never scary, sometimes creepy, but usually that's all! So, this book wasn't scary or creepy for me, but what an adventure! I do love good adventure & this definitely is one & goes to my pile of favorites! It was fun & funny book, a little gory, I liked the characters - they were really fun, it had awesome monsters, the descriptions of everything was pretty detailed, so I felt like watching a movie. ;) It was suspenseful, exciting & action-packed & I highly recommend it! Now I'll have to get the sequel, too!
