This book was good when stuff was happening but very little actually happened.
I haven't got much to say so this review will be pretty short. The plot was all over the place and confusing. The main characters were somewhat memorable but the side characters all merged into one. The romance seemed very dodgy at the beginning (a 14 year old boy fell in love with a 8 year old girl) but became more legitimate, if very boring. The book itself contained blocks of useless prose and entire chapters of stories that held no relevance to the story. Some decent chapters though.
In conclusion, I would have stopped reading this book if it hadn't been homework.

Again, I have a problem with the star system as 2 stars in my mind should be less than okay, but this was okay.
It was a bit tedious in parts and irksome in others yet in others it was gripping and suspenseful.
It didn't really take me that long to read as I had to return it midway but it also was a book I put aside a few times for others.
I think this might be more appealing to younger children with their oh so virtuous heroes which at some point do grow old.
That said I could have abandoned it at any time and I did continue, perhaps compelled more by the fame of the tale rather than the interest it garnered but I did finish it.
Was helped by the fact that I listened to this and could attend to other tasks while listening.
