This review is from: The Demon of the Deep (The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, No. 1) (Paperback)

Well the book was a nice thing to add to my colection but the charcters seemed a bit off from the show, they acted more like 10 year olds than 16 or 17. They didn't know what Dr. Quest was talking about sometimes and it's something most kids would know let alone the Quest kids (who hack into goverment buildings) But once you get into the story it's pretty good, it just has a rouph start.

This review is from: The Demon of the Deep (The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, No. 1) (Paperback)

I liked this book because it had alot of scientific accuracy and attention to detail. What I didn't like was the character's personalities and how they acted. I wasn't too impressed by how they spoke or what they said. For example, Dr. Quest was talking about how a giant squid is an invertabrate and Hadji says "Invertrabrate?". I'm pretty sure that at his age he would have known what an invertabrate was. Some of the other dialogue was a little corny as well. However, I did like the pacing of the story which keeps the reader interested and close attention to scientific detail which is so hard to find in books these days.
