Style
As usual, the lettering manner is normally South American (if you have read any Garcia Marquez you will know what I connote) next to flower-patterned and ornate phrases and musical descriptions. The descriptions of the scene of the Himalayas, where on earth utmost of the fiction is set, were lovely and made me deprivation to visit that locality.

The original features cardinal important characters, Alex Cold, his mate Nadia and his grandparent Kate. The bad guys are the Collector, who is ultra-rich and can buy all but thing he wants, and the Specialist, a category of all-purpose hit man and procurer, hired by the Collector to get the Golden Dragon, a fabulous carving which is titular to announce the approaching. The Collector hopes to go even more affluent by victimization this to engender a sidesplitting on the sheep bazaar. Kate is besides curious in the Golden Dragon, though not for the one and the same reasons. She's a journalist and it would trademark a solid yarn. The narration centres nigh on the Specialist's hard work to get seizing of the Dragon and the hard work of Kate, Alex, Nadia and others to cessation the stealing and consequently to regain it. There are a brace of satisfactory twists, which I won't divulge as that may possibly mollycoddle the narrative.
What I mental object
I was confused by the wealth of references to what these characters had done in a preceding dangerous undertaking in the Amazon, but it made more gist onetime I'd completed this was segment two of a triad. If you publication this book, you will brainwave you cognize just about as untold in the order of the first-year adventure as the underway one.
Although I likeable the crucial characters, I recovered it truly troublesome to recognize in them, near both the brood ostensible far too learned for their ages (Alex is in the order of 16 and Nadia 13) and unerect to go tearing off to do unachievable material possession. Their drift to circle into their totems (Alex's a big cat and Nadia's an eagle) is likewise freaky. The prime villains likewise come across to be caricatures, near vindicatory a few spectacular characteristics to modify us to collect them out.
That anyone said, I enjoyed the passage disdain the attitude of immateriality that pervades it. I unconcealed after I'd smooth reading the innovative that it's intended to be a children's passage (it was a reading working group selection, therefore my cognitive content), and that likely accounts for the sorcerous and unreal atmospheric condition. At the age of 12, I would have soundly enjoyed it; as an adult, quite a few weather condition are a bit too fantastical for my partiality.
Summary: A accurate children's story; adults may brainwave it harder to read
