Review: Disappointed

Being a grandmother who likes some young adult fiction I gave this one a try.  The subject of Atlantis has lately caught my fancy.  But in the first couple of chapters I was asking myself whether I could actually continue on with all the "kid stuff".  Then things smoothed out, caught my interest and moved me right along.  However, I kept waiting for a connection with Atlantis.  If it was there I missed it completely.  Like another reviewer, I also kept expecting some kind of connection between Elliott and Nicholas.  Darn!  That would have been so cool.I gave this two stars because inspite of all my unrequited expectations it held my interest right up to the last couple of chapters.  I stayed up long past my work night bedtime, eager to read a fantastic ending.  I got there and felt cheated.  My attitude was:  "I stayed up for that?!"  Oversimplification and loose ends jangling all over the place.  So many possibilities that fell far too short.  I'm glad it was only $.99.This review will be down at the very bottom and probably no one will ever read it, but I feel better venting my frustration.
