Shadeheart's Thoughts: |
[Rating: 2/10] Dan Abnett's "Treasure Hunt in the Creepy Mansion" is a decent but relatively unremarkable pseudo-interactive book that accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do: provide short-lived entertainment for younger readers with its thin narrative, large-print illustrations and routine task-like driving mechanism. This book is a novelty book and little more; one can view it as a picture book which demands readers to "solve puzzles" using objects from the present/previous page(s) before proceeding on to the next one. I didn't exactly enjoy the book enough to recommend it - it seems like the publisher asked illustrator Alan Baker for some location-set illustrations and then commissioned an in-house writer, Dan Abnett, to try and slap together some overarching story for younger readers. Because I got the sense that the concept was more of an afterthought than anything, I wouldn't go so far as to call this book either interactive or an adventure, nor would I generally recommend it to most readers, decent as it may be. ^^ (Mysteriously disappears into the shadows.) |
