i read this a couple of years ago, or three, and remmber being not very impressed withit. i thought it to adult to be a childs book, with adult themes and adult language. yet to childish to be an adult book.
anyways, scroll forward a few years......
ds, aged 10.5. hates reading, but reasonably intelligent. we have just read the first chapter together. a sort of mummy and me time thing. and i feel it is way way too hard for him. the language used etc. is this most likly because ds isnt very good at reading because he hates reading. or is it really too difficult for ten year olds?
i just thought we could perhaps read it before we went to see the film, andhe might even enjoy th ebook more. iywim. didnt work with narnia, but i live in hope.
