The premise of this novel was innovative and refreshing in the land of sameness that the book industry has become. I enjoyed the novelty of reading a plot I had not read 100 times over. The fact that it was well-written was a big plus. That being said, I was quite annoyed by the pictures. After reading Riggs' comments I understand why he included them and it's pretty awesome that the photographs are actual photographs, but they broke up the reading process for me and also took away my ability to imagine what the children and creatures looked like. Otherwise, a great read!
