This book is good for some escape from the world; a way to adventure back into childhood with a twist. It certainly lacks deep character and plot development, but nevertheless is a nice way to make Meg the hero instead of the damsel, just the way she always wanted.

Ok look, I loved the movie, no matter how inaccurate it was, so you can imagine how excited I was when my boyfriend brought this book home for me to read. I dove into with high hopes and I can’t help but feel like I was left disappointed. It was no fault of the book because I should have known I wasn’t the target audience (the audience being 10 years younger) for this book, but I was really hoping that it could still be able to stimulate my brain. All in all, it was ok, but I just wish it wasn’t so, well, dumbed-down.
