When I saw this book's gorgeous cover and read the glowing reviews, I got this book for my kids so we could discover along with the Finkle kids the secrets they stumble upon in Finkleton. After reading the synopsis to my daughter she told me outright that it sounded very predictable. She didn't seem excited as I was to read it along with me. Nonetheless, I snuggled with my kids on the bed and began reading. The first chapter was promising but by the third chapter, my son told me there was tooI just love a good book... Don't you?A+++
Sorry, I like many others was seduced by the brilliant reviews, but I am truly sorry to say that the book is not very well written and not very interesting either. The main characters are very unappealing and as some others have said, act much younger than their ages. The writing, as others have said, is too much of the "tell" variety as opposed to the "show".This is the highest number of "great" reviews I have ever seen for such a lacklustre book. Oh dear.
A very fun and entertaining read.The story was fresh and original and the writing flowed beautifully.I loved the characters and didn't want the book to end. the second book in the series comes out 2012 and I will definitely be buying it. If you enjoy middle-grade novels, then pick up "The Magic of Finkleton"it's a fast, easy read and I'd recommend it to everyone. - R.D.
Magic of Finkleton, filled with mystery and wonders. I really enjoyed how the story wraps around the kids (siblings). By reading this, I couldn't help but think of my siblings, we may bicker about a few things but we do come together when we need too. I personally feel like this book is a teaching when it comes to family. Family backs each other up and protects each other, that is what this family, especially the kids do in the story once it gets going. This story has a lot of character and just
I read mostly young adult, but felt compelled to read this one. This is Hilton's debut book and It was really good. The age group for this book is spot-on.It held my interest to the last page. The slow build up was nicely done. Will there be a sequel? If so, I'll read it.
How is this possibly boring??Full review at: http://generalconfessions.weebly.com/...**Edit: After reading an ARC of Return to Finkleton, I have decided that I loved that one much more than this and believe I will give this one four stars instead of the initial five. Still love this one though!
