It was a mix of a childish book and a raw one. Some parts were not at all for children, and I found them harsh even as an adult, but then the ending was very unrealistic.

I didn't like that the characters were happy to have saved Aman without even mentioning that there were many other people who were still imprisoned.

All in all I found it a bit unbalanced.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read, funny and lighthearted. I loved the way it's written, I think it adds up to the dynamism of the book and makes it even funnier. I needed a break from dense books and this has been perfect.
