WOW! Sunderworld The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry by Ransom Riggs was absolutely fantastic! I went into this thinking it would end up being another interesting, but not overwhelming incredibly intriguing young adult book. Was I ever wrong! I finished over half of it in a day.
The portrayal of Leopold. also known as Larry, was so well done, I found myself rooting for him. Not only is he misunderstood, but he hasn't really found his place in life yet. Adding to this is a father who wants him to pick a career path that he is entirely unsuited for and is not the least bit interested in. While his best friend, Emmett, tries to support him, he also thinks Leopold is going a bit off the deep end. Along with everything else, Leopold has a tendency to just mess things up.Therefore, he ends up being an incredibly likeable character that you can't help but root for and hope that things finally go his way.
I loved this so much. I plan to pick up more books by this author.
