Book reviews

Has anyone here read: brainboy and the deathmaster? It's a children's book, and I'm thinking about picking up for inspiration
(planning on witting a children's book). I've been told it's a good read but I'd feel better if you guys tell me what you think about it first.

>I wonder who's more competent in the theory and subject of fantastic literature in your opinion, Tolkien or Dodgson?
As if it matters. Whether Alice is a fairytale is besides the point as there are plenty of stories written for children that aren't fairytales. Not to mention the only one who's been arguing whether it is or isn't a fairytale, is you.

While I agree the satire in Dodgson's work will probably go over the heads of most children today, I doubt the children would mind. I for one remember enjoying it as a simply fairytale (or fantastical story, if you prefer) when I was younger.
