It is somewhat slow. I just kept waiting for it to pick up. It needs some work. Thanks.

It needed more development. The wow factor was missing. Thanks.

It just wasn't quite where it should be. I liked the idea, though. I hope the author develops it further. Thanks.

What an interesting idea for a story. It’s too bad it wasn’t very interesting.

The premise definitely sounds intriguing: a boy discovering a portal to another universe in his uncle’s ranch. This could’ve been a great book if the premise was utilized well. Anyway, thank you for your honest review.
