What do I mean by better?
Well, it was more fast-paced. There were more defined goals for the kids. They needed to get somewhere and do something rather than Jacob just finding out what his grandfather used to do. They're going around with people chasing them. There are fights and life-threatening situations that they have to get through and we learn a heck of a lot more about the peculiar world. Which by the way is awesome.
Just saying, my best friend is Addison and she is in love with dogs and when I told her about Addison the dog we were both laughing our pants off.
The different things they see and encounter on their adventure and the pictures included are awesome. I don't think I could even look at my own pictures from a trip I've been on and make a story from it. That's creativity.
I also love the extra photos in the back that he didn't end up using. Those are cool too. The best picture book I've ever read.
So please, if you read the first book and thought it was a little meh, pick up this one. It's much better. Not even the movie was this good. Actually, after this book, I can see why other people found the movie so disappointing.
Five stars!
If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.
Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
