Sounds like an intense adventure. I wonder if this is strictly thriller or if there's fantasy elements, too.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I love quirky, outside-the-box fiction so I'm excited to read it. Between your review and Amazon I'm even more intrigued now. Good job!

This is a classic story and it seem this book did the it justice. Dr Peter will have to be free in order to reunite with Timmy. I am curious to read how it all comes together. Great review!

When I saw the cover I thought that it would be interestingly cute, my initial thought was only solidified when I read your review. I will most definitely give this book a shot, not just for myself, but also to test it out for my little bro. Thank you for the review.

It’s nice to read a review that covers all the main attributes of a book without giving too much away. You drop seeds of information, which stimulate interest and prompt people to want to try out the book for themselves. This may not be my type of story, but I’m sure fans of this genre will love it. Many thanks.

The first few pages did not grab my attention and hold it. However, after reading this review, I will go back and try to read it again. The cover is a bit deceiving with the bears. I was thinking a light easy young readers book. Now it seems the books hold much much more! My interest is piqued and I’m looking forward to unraveling all the secrets of this book. Thanks for the informative review!

I like that Timmy can help rescue his dad because of his dad’s planning, but of course he gets to develop his own skills along the way! The premise of this sounds unique and cool, and it sounds well-executed. Thanks for the review.

Amazing review. This review has all the right elements to get someone interested in reading this book. I was not very eager when I saw the cover page. It's unexpected for me to find out that this book has such deep elements of relationships. Now I'm going to read it. Congratulations to the author for this great review.

It sounds like this book is geared toward kids. I am wondering if it is a good book for tweens :eusa-think: . It definitely is not a book I would have picked up on my own, but sounds interesting. I'm curious about what Dr. Barnes' invention was.

I look forward to reading on the adventures of Timmy as he sets to look for his kidnapped scientist father and his invention. I like the lesson on courage that is so masterfully narrated in the story. Great review.

This is an excellent review that really makes me want to read the book. I wasn’t attracted to the book cover and don’t think i would have picked it up but the review makes it sound interesting and suspenseful. The relationship between father and son sounds heartwarming

The cover seems like it fits the story nicely because it is just as dark and mysterious as the plot. I would love to read this if I had the chance. I'm curious to find out what the invention was that caused Dr. Barnes to get kidnapped. Thanks for the review!
