I kind of thought I was reading Douglas Adams at first because (after a disturbing prologue) it starts out with a rather British tongue in cheek "Dry wit" and seems to be going off in one direction. After the first chapter The Children of Malakh seems to switch gears and the writing style changes somewhat from chapter to chapter. I don't know if that's intentional, but it does keep you guessing and interested.I've read other books which story tell from a kid's perspective, but these characters feel so real. Erkki and Miguel are quite easy to relate to even as a grown up and I quickly became enamored with them. I bit my lip every time they leaped into danger, which they did frequently.Every time I hear a coin drop now I have to wonder...
