I found most of the characters rather unsympathetic, except for Alice&#8217;s mother (and she barely appears after her accident). Moody is obviously a very talented writer, and the prose is rather nicely crafted. Unfortunately the plot was practically non-existent and while some people might love the slice-of-life thing I am not one of those people. I like my stories to have some sort of sense of journey to them.<br \/>\nWell written, but empty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bookrating\">Rating: B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wee Free Men Terry Pratchett You&#8217;d think that being a Young Adult Novel that Pratchett wouldn&#8217;t have put his full effort into this book.
