Additionally, the characters seemed one-dimensional and the writing style did not engage me. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and would not recommend this particular book in the series.
2. Alex - 1 star - This book was a total letdown. The plot was poorly developed and the pacing felt off. I found it hard to connect with the characters and their actions didn't make much sense to me. The writing style was also lacking; it felt like the author was simply going through the motions rather than putting in any effort to create an engaging story. I will not be continuing with this series after this disappointing experience.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I was not impressed with "Magic Tree House Book 4". The story felt repetitive and unoriginal, lacking any new or exciting elements. The characters didn't grow or develop throughout the book, which made it hard for me to stay engaged. Additionally, the writing style was too simplistic for my taste and didn't offer much depth to the overall story. Overall, I was disappointed with this installment and would not recommend it to others.
4. David - 3 stars - While I didn't hate "Magic Tree House Book 4", I must say it didn't live up to my expectations. The plot felt rushed and didn't allow for much exploration of the different time periods or adventures. The characters lacked depth and the dialogue felt forced at times. I think younger readers might enjoy this book, but as an adult reader, I found it lacking in substance and originality.
