Addison Cooke and the Tomb of the Khan by Jonathan W. Stokes
2.0
I don't remember when I read this. Took me a while to get through it, though. Whenever I put it down, I didn't really feel like picking it up again.
CONS OF ADDISON COOKE AND THE TOMB OF THE KHAN
There was another attempt at character development. At least this time it was started at the beginning of the book. But it was totally forgotten about for most of the middle, then picked up again at the end, as if the author was like 'oh wait, need this! haha'. Me at him: haha NO.
Addison really seems to like girls who have black hair and come from a foreign country based on their LOOKS. He's not a good role model.
Again, none of these characters are good role models. They steal constantly.
Most of the humour was 'meh'.
PROS OF ADDISON COOKE AND THE TOMB OF THE KHAN
"You can sleep when you're dead."
OVERALL
This book was pretty 'meh' to me. I didn't hate it with passion, and I didn't even really like it. It's like it wasn't worth feeling over??
I noticed in the back that it mentioned the author is a screenwriter, so I think that, while this maybe might have been okay on screen, not so much in book form. He's more suited to movies than books. But I did see a *slight* improvement to his writing from book one.
