Michelle Harrison: 13 treasures

I saw an advertisement of this book couple of months ago and immediately i got the urge that i want to read the book eventhough it's directed towards children. Unfortunately it's written for children in that way that no adult (well, at least me) will have no chance to read more than couple of pages. And it's really pity. The story seems interesting but it feels so childish, eventhough the main character is 13 years old, it feels even more childish.

Maybe kids in their pre-teen years finds this book alright. I in my late twenties didn't.

I know this story isn't meant to be scary, but honestly i couldn't even read the first chapter without imagining the "Grudge"-like little boys crawling into my apartment. I know that isn't how the writer has intended this book to be, but i can't help myself that i just find this scary.

I guess i just have to realise that anytime someone recommends me a book - i should just ignore it. Never they are as good as the reader has told it was, and neither was this one. I'm not really sure what was the main problem with this book, i just didn't find it appealing at all. And it's really weird, because it has all the elements in it that i really enjoy in other books! Maybe the time was wrong or something...
