opal360 's review for:

Rotherweird by Andrew Caldecott

4.0

I enjoyed spending time in this strange world with its strange cast of characters. I thought the book was longer than it needed to be (too many boat races and school plays etc), and the characterisation was a bit thin. But I loved the humour in the sections with the actress playing Lady of the Manor, and I liked the Narnia-style set up with the parallel world. I will be looking out for Book 2.
