For my critique I have made a section on the positives and one on the negatives that this book has presented to me.
The Positives:
This book through out has brought forward new ideas on how our world works, and how much of our world is controlled by time. During the prologue, we see how time is something that is of great value. As the book progresses and Arthur goes into the house that only he can see, he learns how time never stops for anyone, but him. With the minute hand he can control many forces of nature and can use it along with the hour hand to destroy a day, Mister Monday. I don't want to give away anything that happens in the book, but I will say that this is the first book in the series of seven. The seven days of the week.
The Negatives:
I have read this book several times, and every time that I read it I am slightly disappointed with certain aspects of it. For example: The vocabulary is at points quite weak, while at other points it is strong. Also there are several points in the book that are like a cheesy horror film. Part of you is stressed, worried, and anxious about what is about to happen in the book , while the rest of you knows EXACTLY what is going to happen. As a result of this you aren't surprised, but slightly disappointed. As a result of this, I wouldn't suggest this book for an extremely good reader, but for someone who isn't as worried about vocabulary and predictability.
This book is quite interesting and is a great adventure, but I wouldn't suggest this book to someone who is at a higher than average reading level. While I will suggest this book to someone who is interested in a book with a very good and interesting plot.
