Honestly, I really ended up liking Christopher’s character. If you’re planning on reading this book then you kind of need to overlook this. I won’t get into detail about it but there’s a reason why he ends up as smart as he is. When the book first came out I read a review about how someone thought that Christopher was a little too smart. Without most of the information that was included, you wouldn’t be able to understand what exactly happens with the real world and the imaginary world and how easily people can be manipulated. There are parts of this book that could have been omitted but I kind of understand why Stephen included all that he did. You can also imagine their battles and Christopher’s point of view while in the imaginary world. You can imagine The Nice Man and The Hissing Lady. It is extremely detailed to a point that you are able to see Christopher’s world. A certain creepiness that I haven’t really seen in other books. This book may remind parents who read it aloud to their tweens about the importance of allowing unstructured time for their kids to create their own worlds.⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5.
