review 1: (WARNING: there be spoilers) I thought that Lost in Babylon by Peter Lerangis was very exciting and scary and insane and magical and super-duper awesome! It was exciting when we found out that inter-dimensional travel is possible and Babylon still exists in an alternate dimension, scary when we found out that there is a traitor in the midst of our heroes (Marco. I warned you about spoilers!), insane when they actually got to the Hanging Gardens, magical when they found the Loculus, and super-duper awesome throughout.Well, almost.The not-awesome part was when the plot was dragged out and out and out when they had to go through the space-time rift once again and the same problems kept coming at them. I kept wishing they'd just give up and die (of course I didn't really; but ... moreI got close). Then the Massa kidnapped them (I warned you) and they had to make a huge detour and they found Jack's mom, who happens to be the leader of the Massa (didn't I just say I warned you?). Couldn't that just be a whole separate book?For the most part, this book blew me away. It has its ups and downs, but all in all, it's a great read for anyone who likes awesomesauceyness (or 8- through 12-year-olds. Why did no one ever tell me books had a secret age limit in the top left corner on the back cover?)
review 2: Overall I really enjoyed this book. With one wonder down and 6 more to go the team of young adventurers must engage in so wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey portal stuff to find the next. That's always fun. The characters are developing nicely. The plot twists in this book were expected, but I still enjoyed them. It was a book that I didn't want to put down, and when I did I immediately snatched up the next. less
