I am loving this book! I have read a lot of "snobbish" reviews critiquing character development, etc, but for someone like myself that is NOT and avid reader, LOVED it!
It is just fun! The character's are developed fine for my likes and perhaps pages and pages of backstory is not a place that the author particularly wanted to go. If I can remeber, wasn't this book a "young readers'" book? Anyhow, there is a perfect mix of everything and cannot wait to see something like this on the screen!
