Got a few chapters in reading this to my children (10 and 12) and it was just felt a little silly/young for them. His previous books are absolutely amazing.... Maybe I read those to my children when they were just a little younger, but it still feels like those books were more instantly engaging (for both children and adults). Will probably pick this up again when I've read them something else. 3 stars for now, benefit of the doubt that it's worth finishing
