review 1: I randomly found this book while I was at Barnes & Noble and immediately got excited. I thought I had found a unique and fun interactive book. As most people would be I considered skipping to the end of the book and seeing what the surprise was, but instead decided to buy it and do it right. I should have just skipped to the end. The books builds you up for a mystery that isn't there, in the end it just promotes tree hugging and making a fort in the woods. Sure I see the goal in maybe tryng to bring the reader back to their childhood and imagination, but I think it was utterly lacking.
review 2: When I first laid my hands on this book I was extremely excited about it: another book to keep me occupied/give ideas! Another that I don't necessarily have to read fro... morem cover to cover, but can scribble in too (I happen to enjoy that kind of thing). The problem with the book is that Smith draws you in and then drags out the "suspense" to the extent that you KNOW you're being conned into something! It's all well and good to try and copy a Narnia idea, with childhood fantasies and the like, but as an adult, there are certain limits to what you can do. Rather than encourage me to write, this book actually put me off. It consists of things I fantasised about when I was a teenager (when I created a club, along with badges, secret signs, the lot) - that's all passé! Perhaps Smith thinks it's possible to recreate that kind of thing and I agree there was the occasional spark of delight in these pages, but not enough for me to follow through with it. It's an almost Julia Cameron-make-believe fallen flat. less
