I imagine that this book would be a fascinating read for a 10-13 year old, or a minimally educated adult, but not for a well-read or well-educated adult. Some things are not explained at all, while some other things test the credulity of the reader. Of course, it's target reader IS that 10-13 year old, so I'm not criticizing, just warning the adult reader. I read it for two reasons, one, it was Ted Bell, and two, it was as a preview for my wife, who teaches middle school and is always looking for books that would appeal to her 10-11 year old students in order to encourage them to read. I would recommend it to that age group.
