Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

While I appreciated the amount of imagination in this story, by no means did I enjoy it. Firstly, I found that there needed to be a sense of time and place. I didn't know when it was set, I guessed Victorian, and Paris did not feel like Paris. I found the story dragged a little with a quick resolution at the end,which I did not like. I liked Charles Maxim but I disliked his ward Sophie. However, most of all, the worst thing about this book is that I didn't care. I didn't care about the characters, the plot or Sophie's mother. I just didn't care. I suppose I might've enjoyed this book more if I was ten or eleven rather than seventeen.
