review 1: This book was charming, fascinating, and intricate. I loved the uniqueness and individuality in the plot, the characters, and the book itself. It is about a boy named Tommy Pepper who lives with a little sister who no longer speaks and a father trying to hold the three of them together after his mother's death. When a mysterious green and silver chain is found in his lunchbox on his twelfth birthday, Tommy puts it on and finds knowledge he had never known before--knowledge of wars raging in other worlds, and things no one else has ever heard of. Tommy soon realizes he has other battles to fight, and as he solves these cosmic problems he tries to piece together his family, his friends, his life, and himself. I have to admit that at first glance I didn't think I would enjoy ... moreit much, but it turned out to be better than I'd expected. The advice I would give to a reader is not to give up after the first chapter or so, because it is a little confusing at the beginning. But I think that's intentional, because we learn more as the story goes on.
review 2: I thought was going to really like this book, but then it turned out it was the type with a ton of weird names and words which you don't understand and you never end up figuring them out. I think this is more of a sci-fi book and is slightly different from the inside cover description (ok, a lot). The reason I gave it only two stars was because of the confusing language and the way things were explained. less
