A review by kthornette
The Story of the Amulet by E. Nesbit

2.0

I won't lie, I spent the first 30% of this book wondering what was going on and what was supposed to happen. It got easier to follow once the group reached Babylon and not because I needed those chapters for a class discussion but it was interesting to read the descriptions of the places and the dystopian-worlds with their different societies and governing systems. Those were more interesting that the quest for the amulet. That being said ... the book lost me after Atlantis

Overall, the text was dry for me and it was hard to tell the kids apart since they all spoke the same to me. Could it be because book three was the first one I read in the series so I wouldn't get this book? shrugs in "I had to read this book for class."
