Some of the chapters in this book are creepy. The magical moments and suspense make the book fast paced. The adventure theme is something that is appealing to many children as well as adults. The charm of adventure stories do not wane because they show the creativity and imagination of the author and to what extent it can hold the interest of the reader too. The creation of fictitious characters that are bold and wicked, or kind and helpful are all reflections of the author's writing skills. There is something very appealing about Miller's writing. He manages to pump in some kind of magic and surrealism into the story. Very enjoyable, fast paced and packed with suspense and interesting characters.
