Book Review #6

This was the second book that we read for our book club at work.It is by the same author as Inkheart ( a series of books that I thoroughly enjoy). I have noticed that since I am trying to see how many books I can read this year I am flying through books quicker then I normally would. It is a lot of fun to take time to escape from the day to day and enjoy another world for a little while.

From Barnes and Noble

Beyond the mirror, the darkest fairy tales come alive. . . .

For years, Jacob Reckless has enjoyed the Mirrorworld's secrets and treasures.

Not anymore.

His younger brother has followed him.

Now dark magic will turn the boy to beast, break the heart of the girl he loves, and destroy everything Jacob holds most dear. . . .

Unless he can find a way to stop it.

If you're looking for happily ever after, you've come to the wrong place.

My Review:

I found this book to be alright. It wasn't really a story that I would have picked to read on my own. Overall, I felt that it was an ok story but I thought it could have been developed a little better. The thing I like about a good book is that I don't feel like I am reading a book but that I am watching a movie in my head. With this book I really felt like I was reading a book. The characters just seemed very flat to me. A little disappointed.
