My class and I read this book in our year 10 English class.Initially I thought the book would be a waste of time.But to my surprise I really enjoyed the read. It has a lot of depth and the changing between the myth world and the real world is very well done.The biggest problem for me was the length,at some points along the way it felt like they were just killing time by explaining useless facts. The main characters Mat,Wiri and Kelly are well written and interesting overall the book is interesting and exciting.I look forward to reading the next installments in this series.
