Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Pretty hilarious. I got little annoyed by the constant editorial injections at the beginning of each chapter, but found myself cracking up throughout this fast paced adventure. If it had not been a library copy, there would have been dog ears to particularly hilarious points. Recommended to me by a teen who loves some fantasy adventure novels, i would pass on the recommendation because it was worth the bus hours spent reading it. This book was delight. I really loved the the narrator in this book and how the story was told. This story had a lot of action from the pop and some really crazy convo about the power of knowledge. I also really loved how this book was strucutre and had some of my favortie fantsay elements like rag tag group of heros and a quest. I also loved a story about libaries but a twist on that I am really excited for book 2 as well
For all its self-aware preciosity, this still stands as a happily action-packed romp, with just the right amount of repartee between Alcatraz and his cantankerous teenage protector Bastille, and a cliffhanger ending that promises more of the same. Plus dinosaurs in tweed vests. Who could ask for more? Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids), this nutty novel isn't for everyone, but it's also sure to win passionate fans. Though there's intentionally more humor than drama, Alcatraz becomes a more complex figure by the time his adventure is through as he discovers the value of friendship, courage, and family. Readers who prefer fantasy with plenty of humor should enjoy entering Alcatraz's strange but amusing world. Alcatraz often interrupts his story with comments about reading, sometimes predicting accurately that we won't believe the events on the page. He doubts that librarians will recommend this book. He may be right. Belongs to SeriesIs contained inAwardsNotable Lists

Con ganas de ver en que lios se mete Alcatraz.
EDIT: Aunque he puesto 4 estrellas, seria mas un 3,5-3,75. Me ha entretenido mucho pero tampoco es lo mejor en juvenil que he leído aunque sigue siendo mejor que la media. ( )
