I found this book to be yet another highly enjoyable book by Kenneth Oppel. It is a quick read, but I found that this did not at all deter from my enjoyment of the book. I can recommend this book to anyone, especially fans of other books by Kenneth Oppel.

I bought this book because I loved and adored Oppel's novel Airborn. Unfortunately, this much earlier work is not nearly so well-written. The imagery was pretty darn nifty, and the premise was moderately intriguing, but unfortunately that's really all it had going for it. The characters were uniformly static and the plot was generic. Try something more recent of Oppel's.
