The Snickitysnatcher
The Snicketysnatcher is exactly the sort of bogeyman I like: Only this time, he may have met his match. However, the initial promise of the book is undermined by the pacing of the story. The plot takes a long time to get moving. I would venture to say it really starts about two-thirds of the way through the book and, once it starts to pick up, the plot is ushered to an abrupt conclusion. The third-person narrative follows multiple people, which is why it takes such a long time to tell the story: The Snick is a typical villain acting primarily for the sake of being evil while Indy is good and doesn't seem to have much characterization beyond that.
The Snickitysnatcher
The character with the most personality was the detective, and even his voice sounded a bit generic at times. The writing style also detracted from what might have been a promising plot. On the scale of show vs. We told exactly how the characters feel and the setting is often described in huge paragraphs. Hardly anything is left to the imagination. Not to say that the book doesn't have any imagination, though. There are some very creative ideas in The Snicketysnatcher that I really did enjoy.
The Snicketysnatcher by Ciro Correia book review
Indy and her friends do end up in some interesting situations, not to spoil anything, and meet some fascinating creatures- both good and bad- along the way. Each new creature is introduced with a whimsical drawing by the author, who is a very good artist and should certainly consider illustrating his own picture book.
