Angela’s Reviews > Time Travelling with a Hamster > Status Update

This is oddly slowly paced for a time travel yarn, and there's a disturbing chapter with a cat that's completely unnecessary and not entirely appropriate for a kids' book, and also which ruins a pivotal moment in the plot. I skimmed it for my son's benefit (we're reading aloud together) and I'm now kinda blah about finishing this, but son is still interested, so we shall persevere...

We're enjoying this, and Al's detailed first person narrative is lovely, especially his memories of his late father, but at the same time, we're anxious to get on to the time-travelling stuff already! (with the hamster)

I'm reading this with my 9-year-old son. We love time travel stories, Doctor Who and hamsters, so this is bound to be a good one!
