Review: A curious mix of engaging and boring..

This was a cool little story.  It was engaging, interesting, and pretty original.  But I also found it seriously lacking an authentic voice.  Meaning that the author writes the story as a narration alternating between all of the characters, the main characters being two ten-year-olds, and one five-year-old, and the thought process of all three are just not believable.  I thought many times as I was reading that it seemed more like an adult reminiscing about his childhood, and projecting logic and maturity onto the characters that would simply not be possible at their ages.  I was also pretty disappointed with the ending, as the author seems to just get bored with the story, and ends it without much care.  Overall it was a fun, quick read, but I'm very glad I got it for free.
