tennis shoes among the nephites book 13 part 2

It was fine in this one but I doubt as Jim gets older it will be as endearing. Jim will no longer be a rebel (which was part of what made the book funny)and there is only so much chessiness (don't think that's a word but oh well) you can take. It just that I know that the other books won't have the same charm as this one. This book is the first of the series and I'm sorry to say that I know I won't be reading any of the others, even though I really did think this book was a real gem. When I finished I wanted to go right away and read the Book of Mormon and see how well the book followed the events that actually happened (well I am really going to do that after I finish this review). From how he thought all the heroes of the Book of Mormon would have acted to the general feel of the culture at the time. I thought the author did everything almost pitch perfect. Jim with his sense of adventure and Garth with all his knowledge of the Book of Mormon made this team priceless. I absolutely thought that the main characters, Jim and Garth, were the perfect match to go back to the time of the Nephites and Lamanites. A lot of the funny moments wouldn't make sense and it's always a shame not to get a good joke. Of course you can read it if your aren't but I doubt that it would be as entertaining.

I should also mention that this is really a book for people who already are LDS members. It's geared towards middle school aged boys, but I can say (at least in my case) it didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book. Granted this book really isn't for everybody.

This was the first word that came to my mind when I finished.
