THE CHAOS CODE; Justin Richards; London: Bloomsbury, 2007; juvenile fiction 9781599901244; $17.95
This is one of those books you keep reading in the hope that it will get better, because Mr. Richards other books have been good, but alas, it plugs along 'til the end. It is hard to imagine that a book about the Lost Continent of Atlantis and a power-mad genius who hopes to use computer animated golems and avatars to take control of the earth could be boring, but there it is. However, this may be just the sort of book that kids will like because they won't notice the stolid prose. Have them give it a try at the public library before you decide to buy it. A secondary purchase at best.
