The code examples that are there are so simple that they don't add very much. I also agree with another reviewer - the margin comments are not useful and are slightly distracting.

This man has an incredible imagination and can render the narrative drive of the story in a strong, consistent voice that sweeps you away.I've not read anything by Barker before.

{ "character": "Bob", "review": "It seems a whole lot of authors who have written in other genres, mainly for adults, have taken to this 'genre,' which Rowling, and CS Lewis before her, had already pioneered: books that seem aimed at children but are really for all ages. Chabon's Summerland is another such title.But this one does it brilliantly. Barker doesn't rely on borrowed mythology, cobbled together. He has created a world, complete with unique illustrations. This man has an incredible imagination and can render the narrative drive of the story in a strong, consistent voice that sweeps you away.I've not read anything by Barker before. I may just try to see what else he's done. I just sort of associated him with the Dungeons and Dragons kind of crowd. I look so very forward to the sequels to this book.", "title": "Realized world, wonderfully portrayed" }
