This book is a good fast read. It was not very thrilling for the first 50 pages but later in the book I could not put it down. This book would be good for any age. The plot is acceptable and has a good twist. Obert Skye didn't do the best work I have seen from Leven Thumps but certainly is a worth while read. could have had a little more about the start our of the book. In the end this book was very well written and I don't regret reading it. Not the best book I have read. From the very first sentence, you know that Beck is EXACTLY the kind of person who is bound to be hilarious, smart, and really mischievous. He's the small child the neighbours lamented over because he was inherently curious, always wondering what was going to happen if he threw several forbidden items into the cooking pot and lit a fire under. Pillage begins with a prank that turns out to be rather funny, and then deepens to a funeral - poor Beck's mother dies (poor woman, not Beck. Of course, he's poor too - not materially, though. Money wise, he's rich). So Beck is carted off to a huge old manor in Kingsplot, where he discovers several interesting things about himself and his family (such as the fact that his entire family was completely, utterly, mind-bogglingly mad). Anyway, I finished Pillage and Choke, the sequel, in one day. Actually, half a day. It wasn't a can't-it-down sort of book... I just really really really really like dragons. But if you like humour and sharp-tongues, read it. Beck's got enough mischief to fill two separate people and have some left over for pie.
