Opinion:
When I decided to read and review the novel Darkwood, I was hoping for a story that would stimulate my imagination. But, unfortunately, I was a little bit disappointed by this some-what disjointed story-telling. While I enjoyed the main character Annie, I thought that the whole plot of the novel was underdeveloped. Events did not flow well and everything was just too sudden. The story was lacking in development and detail and ultimately it just moved too fast to be believable or enjoyable. Because the plots were so abrupt, the element of suspense was lost. I do think, however, that M.E. Breen had a wonderful idea for his novel which I would recommend for more youthful readers and not young adults.
