Title: Finders Keepers
Series: Finders Keepers (not official name) - 1st book
Author: Emily Rodda
Read Before: no
My Comments: It began as a fairly bland and uneventful book, even when the main character, Patrick, was dragged into the alternate world, it didn't get too interesting. A lot of things felt stock standard, and you could guess, with confidence, at what was going to happen. However, once it got to the end, you can’t help but get a warm fuzzy feeling inside, and be happy at the ending, happy that everything had sorted itself out alright. The riddles were not very well formed, especially compared to the author’s latter works; they felt downright crude and clunky. You don’t feel the time pressure for each task the character has to complete, since there’s nothing for the main character to lose and because the book is so short, that nothing is fleshed out completely anyway. Either way, I had fun reading the book, particularly near the end, where, as I mentioned, was the best part of the book.
Rating: 6/10
