review 1: all in all I actually liked this book. It is a very quick, easy read, definitely intended for a younger crowd, but still enjoyable by an older one as well. My only problem with this book is that I felt like there was a fantastic story going on and just about the time when you really get connected and can't wait to find out what happens to the boys it wrapped everything up in a nice bow and ended. I guess I wanted more detail, more story.... did their aunt get better, does their mom come back??? IF it is going to be a series of stories (like I read in another review) then I will for sure be picking up the next one to find out what happens to this interesting family.
review 2: I found the characters genuine, the plot reasonable, the dialogue interesting and somet... moreimes funny. "The Hoarders" grabbed me with its twin issues of hunger and abandonmentfor a couple of brothers. Coping with a world that is falling apart by using intelligence and determination, these boys enlist the reader's concern without sentimentality or "poor me" complaining. Faced with a dilemma an adult would have trouble with, the boys somehow cope, and very well, with circumstances. I just gobbled the book up because I was so involved with it I had to find out what happened! less
