I know my youngest brother loves the Furnace series, so I may have to get this one for him for Christmas. Thanks - you've just made my holiday shopping that much easier. *grin*Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-24350224301718298882013-11-08T10:30:21.683-06:002013-11-08T10:30:21.683-06:00I'm not surprised by your thoughts there given...I'm not surprised by your thoughts there given that cover! I am wondering just how many pages there are given you said 'the last' 500. Not sure about the genre and overall idea for children, I suppose some might be okay with it but I don't think I'd have picked it at that age.Charlie (The Worm Hole)http://wormhole.carnelianvalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-44374905901856696622013-11-08T09:40:29.157-06:002013-11-08T09:40:29.157-06:00Yes, I'd be concerned about a violent book wit...Yes, I'd be concerned about a violent book with a 12 year old protagonist since kids tend to read up. It seems like long books is the new trend this year. I find that frustrating since those books are physically hard to hold and to cary. Perhaps more people are reading on ereaders?Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.com
