Pretty dark for YA. Not a fan of this one, for several reasons. Not a lot happening, for one thing; I know it's YA, and I know it's the first in a series, but there's just not much story in it. Poor characterization, oversimplistic writing; I'm conscious that YA isn't going to be the same as something aimed at a more adult audience, but I've seen it done better by the YA authors I loved growing up. I'm idly curious about the true nature of the Tripods – though I have my guesses after book 1 – but not enough to keep reading the series.
Un libro simple para alguien mas mayor pero para un niño es facil de seguir e interesante. Acaba con una nota realista que hace pensar.
