review 1: 4 and a half stars.this little book setting calmly in a shelf of used-books caught my attention, and glad I picked it up , it had more adventures and originality, than any -more than 400P. YA book I read lately, loved it soo much, it appears like a diary of Barnaby Grimes a Tick-Tock lad, with too many stories, that made me think it might be one of those books, just narrating the many adventures of the protagonist in one book,but I was WRONG, all the stories are connected and cleverly too, narrated in a way to say ONLY what needs to be said, without just filling lines and pages.enjoyable for all ages, and it didn't do much harm to start with the third , so if you dont have the first one in the series dont worry, you can read what you have for now,I think you will get the r... moreest anyway, I know I will.
review 2: Characters:Barnaby: The main character, he is a tic-toc lad, in other words, an errand boy. He makes his living doing this, and it leads him into all sorts of trouble.Blindside Bailey: An old war veteran who now sells newspapers and lives penny to penny... he has quite the tale to tell.Professor Pinkerton-Barnes: Barnaby's friend who asks him to try out all his zany experiements.Illustration: One of the best parts of this series is Paul Riddell's amazing, graphic, dark illustrations. Writing: I LOVE Paul Stewart's dark, brooding characters with terrible pasts who partake in terrible actions... these books are lighter than The Edge Chronicles, but still pretty macabre!Ending:Cute, succinct, and nicely wrapped up.Plot:This book was pretty simple, since it is a Middle Grade for the younger audience... but the plot follows a clear, concise line that is easy to follow.Believability of World:A very well put together world where all of the events that occur are plausible.Overall Grade: B ~ it was entertaining, but a little slow at points. less
