I was fooled by the appearance of this book. Given the cover and the description, I was expecting a little more.

It's a mildly entertaining time travel adventure and that's about all.

I was expecting something edgier, creepier, a bit more chilling. The pictures were a cool idea but the book never lived up to the weirdness they promised.

I know it's for young adults but there are young adult books out there that offer more depth.
