Tom, arguably the most intelligent boy in his grade, and his equally intelligent but often absent-minded father have been working on a machine with globe-shaking capacities that could be used for good or evil. Ghastly Gorgon and his cronies are set to squeeze out all the evil they can from this machine. It is up to Pam, Biff, Gormley, Tom, and the clones, with a bit of help from some long-lost parents, to stop Ghastly's plans before they come to fruition. Unfortunately, Ghastly seems to slip away at every turn. Can they stop him before it's too late?

The 3-Dimensional Boy by Ian E Hart is a wild, unpredictable tale. It is a complete rollercoaster from start to finish, and the author presents us with new surprises at every turn. The story is told from four people's perspectives. These four people are all children from different walks of life who are united by a series of strange events.

The plot of this book is creative and out of the box. It is not linear, and the reader will have a hard time predicting what will happen next. How matters escalate so quickly will have you wondering what will happen next and keep you glued to the pages.

Another thing that makes this book special is its unique cast of characters. I love every character and how they interact with each other. I like how some of them seem to cause chaos when they are together, like Biff and Gormley. I also like the subtle change in how some of the characters are presented at the beginning of the book and how we find our opinions of them changing the further we get into the book. Gormley is a perfect example of this.

The book is geared towards young adults, mainly from the age of 12 to 18. People below this age grade won't understand the book and people above that age will likely find it too childish.

There were a lot of errors in this book. I would recommend another round of editing.

This book was often chaotic but always entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I would love to give it a perfect rating, but because of the number of errors, I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars. I'd recommend it to young adults.

Note from the author: "The errors in the book have since been corrected."

The review is generally helpful and provides a good overview of the book. It highlights the creativity of the plot and the unique cast of characters. However, the reviewer mentions errors in the book, which could potentially affect the reading experience. The review is sufficient in providing important information about the book's target audience and recommending it to young adults. Overall, the review may motivate some readers to buy the book, but the mentioned errors may raise some concerns. From the reviewer's perspective, the book appears to be a good addition to someone's library if they enjoy unpredictable and imaginative stories.
