Title: The Timekeeper
Series: Finders Keepers - 2nd book
Author: Emily Rodda
Read Before: no
My Comments: I actually believe that the first Finders Keepers book didn’t really need a sequel as it ended on a nice note. The Timekeeper is okay, it doesn’t surpass the original (but then again, the original wasn’t that great either). The plot isn’t too complex and is easy to pick up, but that also means that it’s less interesting. As a reader, you don’t want to be in the shoes of Patrick, because what he did wasn’t anything amazing that makes you envy him. The time pressure wasn’t much of a pressure (unlike the last book, this one takes place in the space of a few hours, and it seems too much to do in a few hours, breaking the realism a little bit). The writing isn’t the author’s best work.
