Críticas

This was a cute read for younger folks.

I found some parts to be quite confusing, some of it speaking as if we were all aware of what they were talking about when, in fact, it was fiction and we had no basis for understanding it. The children were exceptionally smart and intuitive for 12 year olds, which was a tad hard to buy into. There were several parts that were left unresolved, like the ending wasn't the ending. I realize this is a series, but it is a nice idea to have endings in each book anyway.

Yet ... this was thrilling to read, kept me on the edge of my seat, and I stayed up past my bedtime to finish it.

A decent novelization of the pilot episode of seaQuest DSV. There's a few important scenes missing, notably when Bridger arrives at the seaQuest and meets the crew the first time. It almost felt like a few pages were missing, but that's just the way it was written. A bit disappointing for that, but otherwise it was pretty faithful. Good book, good TV show.

In an alternate universe, Lee and Gelert are a detective team tasked with finding the murderer of an Alf, a visitor from yet another universe. There are 5 universes that travel between themselves. The Alf universe is the most powerful because it controls the supply of fairy gold which is the substance that allows this travel. As they begin to research their case they uncover a huge conspiracy.
Off to a slow start but it got more interesting toward the end.
