I was grabbing Andrew Weir's latest novel, and figured I'd also grab this for my little kid while I was at it. We read the classics together, and both love them. Unfortunately, this one is a miss.
The 3 girls are all very flat and very out of character. The plot is so rushed it feels more like a story-board than a story. The jokes and allusions are meh. The settings feel fake. The villains, the solutions, the dialogue, everything is just bad.
I wasn't expecting anything great (looking at you Gregory McGuire). Dumb cool fanfic would have been fine. But this.... Eh. I don't even want to give it to my kid.
Which is a big shame. Because I -feel- like there's a lot of fun to be had in Wonderland, Oz and Neverland. And further, I feel like Weir should understand them a little, since they are all 3 shipwrecked survivors just like the Martian and Hail Mary. Trying to make it out with their wits and observation and at times even scientific problem solving. Oh well.
